Alma : 16
PoeticIntensity
The main thing that stuck out in this chapter was obviously the destruction of Ammonihah. As I've stated in a previous post, I find it so interesting that one of the judges of Ammonihah was the one who mentioned that "even if thou shalt declare this city shall be destroyed in one day, we shall not believe it." It was as if the...

Alma : 15
PoeticIntensity
How in the world do you do what Alma and Amulek did in verse 2? Honestly, I don't know. Also, another perspective is - how in the world do you take what Alma and Amulek just said? It'd have to be something like, "Yeah, we were just in Ammonihah, after you guys were thrown out, and we had to endure watching the kings and pries...

This Morning...
PoeticIntensity
Well.. Yesterday, I was running on what I thought would be a low tank of sleep, but I didn't really ever get tired. I ended up having a fairly full day, spending most of the afternoon with Steve, and then practicing with Plan B from 7:30 until 10pm. Man, what a blast that is. I love playing with them. I love music.
Anyway, I arrived ho...

Obama on Jay Leno
PoeticIntensity
While my wife and I were watching The Office tonight, we got wind of President Obama being on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, so we decided to stay up to watch it.
Well, I just got done watching it, and before I forget, I have to write down some initial thoughts.
To begin, I am by absolutely no means whatsoever any source of any credible politi...

Outlook Calendar Events in PHP

1st Nephi : 19
PoeticIntensity
Ya know, I love verse 6, and verses like it (2nd Nephi 4, for example). The reason is quite simple.
Sometimes it's hard to remember that prophets are people, too. They're just subject to Satan's temptations and mistakes and errors and such as we are. Verses like this remind me that they aren't perfect, and it brings them down to...

Ether : 12 - Amazing

So, the very first thing which came to mind this time around was from the first verse. Ether seemed to be a fairly amazing person and a great prophet. So... How did he get to be that way? I'd love to hear the story of Ether's conversion - especially considering the environment he grew up in - being born in captivity. Interes...

Gen. Conf. - Words Never Cease - Holland
PoeticIntensity
I watched this talk about 2 months ago and was very impressed by what Elder Jeffrey R. Holland proclaimed.
Down to its essence, Elder Holland simply states case after case as to why it makes no sense the claim that God has ceased speaking to us.
Quite frankly, I believe him. With overwhelming evidence given, it's hard not to see the clear...

So, in Gospel Doctrine, from time to time, we talk about praying, and how we're supposed to pray all the time, and then we get the comments that it's impossible to "pray" all the time, and then someone else says that we need to be praying "always" in our hearts. That's true, and verse 1 of this chapter is Jesus' commandmen...

It feels quite refreshing to be able to understand more than just a couple of verses again. As I was reading tonight, I realized how much could be written about this chapter. It's quite full of good doctrine.

From verse 1 until 6, Nephi seems to be trying to explain the "hard to understand" n...

Haven't even started reading this yet, and I know I'm in for a doozie. Amalickiah, in my estimation, is one of the truest Nehor-ites in existence. Absolutely no morals, no regard for anyone but himself - even if it means killing many people who he claims to love. One of the most dispicable humans ever to live on earth. Now, ...
