Being Daddy
PoeticIntensity
I recently wrote a piece about how much I miss the things that used to come so easily before I had children.
Although everything I wrote is true, writing that article caused me to reflect on how lucky I am to be a parent at all.
The things which I now miss due to parenthood are luxuries related to selfishness. The things I enjoy because...

Ya know... I've told many people this, but I'm not sure I've told you. If I have, suck it up and listen to it again.

Gen Conf. 2019 Elder Oaks

First off, I don't like at all that the congregation was laughing during the initial parts of the talk.

Considering the implications of polygamy, the question of living in one's own house vs. liv...

This chapter is quite possibly one of the most potent chapters in all of the Book of Mormon. It ranks right up there with the story of the Anti-Nephi-Lehi's willingly laying down their lives in the midst of thousands of people wanting to kill them, and thus, converting even more to the true faith of Christ.
All I've got to say is, "Wow...

Seems that the testimony of Nephi against the people of Zarahemlah was centered around their disbelief in Christ. Interesting that, as soon a Satan has control over a people, Christ is the first doctrine which is attacked.
Also the story of the finding of the murderer of Seezoram is interesting through the eyes of the foreknowledge of God.&...

Gen. Conf. - Words Never Cease - Holland

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...

1st Nephi : 9 - Blind Faith

Two things for tonight's study:
I believe the purpose of this chapter is the same as chapter 6: To give purpose behind the Book of Mormon. The things Nephi is writing are things of God - things pertaining to the ministry of the people in those days.
I love verse 5. It reminds me of when Adam was commanded to build an alter and...

I don't think that ever you will find any words of righteousness associated with Laman and Lemuel, not once, but twice, within 4 verses more than in this chapter alone.
