Alma : 21
PoeticIntensity
Confrontation and contention has always been an interesting thing for me. For one, I hate it and I don't know how to deal with it. I'm a passionate person in every sense of the word. The moment I feel like I'm being attacked, it's everything I have to do to keep my head level and my blood from boiling. Unfortunately, this ke...

The first thing that stood out to me this time around was the anger of Lamoni's father. Try to place yourself in the situation Lamoni found himself in. There are so many variables in the situation, it's hard to imagine exactly what was going on with the family undercurrents, but holy cow. Lamoni's father drew his freaking sword an...

Alma : 19
PoeticIntensity
One thing that comes to mind while reading the first verses of this chapter is, "If I were a queen, and my servants brought me my unconscious husband, I'd immediately want to know who did it." - and Ammon did it. That doesn't make much sense to me. Obviously the times of the Book of Mormon were , uh, different, so that could e...

It's been awhile since I continued on in my quest to read and write about each and every chapter in the Book of Mormon, but, I'm still at it! I'm gonna finish! Here's Alma 18:

In order to feel badly about doing something, you have to at le...

Disney DRM, Ripping DVDs
PoeticIntensity
Lately, I've been viewing a few Disney flicks on DVD. I got Bolt and Bedtime Stories. Because I usually rent them on redbox and can only have them for a day, I will rip them, and then when I get around to it, I'll watch em' then delete them. No problems with that, as far as I can see. I rent them to view them once, and that'...

ILMJ Photo System?

So lately I haven't had any major projects going on involving programming, and I started to miss it, so I decided to act upon a thought I had about a month ago.

So, two day...

Well... Yesterday, a friend of mine had told me he had the privilege of being formally taught how to tune a snare drum.

So, today, I went and investigated a bit of whether I could get the proper tool...

2nd Nephi : 26 - Part 1

First thing I noticed in this chapter is verse 1. He tells his children that Christ will show himself unto them. How is this possible if this was written approximately 550 years before Christ would come? Very interesting... I'll have to research that.
Verse 7 pops out at me like a bolt of lightning. I've been lookin...

Gen. Conf. - Heed The Prophet - Cook

I just finished reading the first talk given during the Priesthood Session of conference.
Elder Cook talks of the need to give heed to the words of our prophets.
I think of the things in my life I'm doing wrong, and I feel the truth in his words. I need to heed the prophet's counsel more earnestly in many areas of my life.
I think of th...

About 2 months ago, a great musician, designer, and friend sent me a new design idea for AdvancedBudgetStudios.com. After getting various opinions, I decided to have a go at it. Also, with all the free time I had during the holidays, I thought it would be a good time to get crackin'.

So, I'm pretty sure these words are being spoken to us, the Gentiles, and they are meant for people living now. The last chapter was spoken to those who would be alive during the coming of the Book of Mormon, and it doesn't seem like this chapter deviates from that.
Interesting that included in the list of "wicked ways" is t...

Alma : 44 - Rather Die Than Lie

The thing which resonates so much with me about this chapter, is how true Moroni is to himself and his God. Truly, the last thing he wanted to do is to kill thousands of his brothers, yet he had to. He knew his lifestyle, freedom, religion, and family were more important than letting themselves be put into bondage, and the Lamanites wou...

Mosiah : 22
PoeticIntensity
Interesting that the council invites the entire Nephite people in the land of Nephi to join in the discussion about how they should free themselves. I wonder why they make a point to note that.
Also, it's very cool that Mosiah received them with joy, although I can't find any reason that they should have done otherwise.
This seems like a ...

2nd Nephi : 4 - Nephi's Psalm

First, a question.
In verse 15, Nephi states that he delights in the scriptures, and that he writes them according to the spirit. Well... That leads me to question whether or not he realized he was a prophet or not. Very interesting, and possibly stupid, question (maybe he already knew about D&C 68:4).
Now, the chunk of ...

As I read this chapter, I found the question in my head, "why was Nephi prompted to put Isaiah in here?"

I enjoyed this chapter as much as I did the last. I didn'...
