Strengthening Trials
PoeticIntensity
Yesterday at church, I had a couple of thoughts which I neglected to write down. I think I'll write them down now.
Something I might have written down in my previous scripture studies is my question as to why Lehi's family didn't think about getting the plates of brass / Ishmael's family before they left for the wilderness? I would th...

1st Nephi : 8
PoeticIntensity
I'm not in the mood to write much, but since it's a goal, I'll keep it.
One thing I noticed and had a question about was why Nephi, Sariah, and Sam didn't know where to go in Lehi's dream. Verse 14 lays it out quite plainly.
The first thing that came to mind was Lehi was the leader of the family. He was the director and it was his d...

When Nephi goes on in his rant toward those who were desirous to go to Jerusalem, he keeps saying "How could you forget?". Things like "How have you forgotten the great things the Lord hath done for us" makes an incredible assum...

Linux Babblings

I just got done reading a wonderful article in which the author tries to describe the core differences between the "open source" mentality and the proprietary one. He does a great job of being objective and is generally well-thought out.
Since I began using Linux, being myself a capitalist, I've battled the idea that the open sour...

1st Nephi : 6
PoeticIntensity
I'm not exactly sure what happened, but I lost the post I just wrote about chapter 6.
I didn't realize how short it was, so I wrote about the importance of scriptures spoken of in verse 5. If we didn't have scriptures, our kids would eventually lose the commandments of God (unless, of course, it was revealed again).
Also, it's good to not...

One way I really enjoy reading the scriptures is from a very empathetic point of view. I find I learn more when I study, if I try to imagine what would *really* be going on if I were actually within the scripture.
Chapter 4 is perfect for this. Reading somewhat between the lines of the first part of this chapter allows us to imagine ...

Within the first 5 verses of this chapter, I'm reminded again of how a person works who is truly interested in God's commandments.
Lehi was commanded of the Lord to have his sons return to Jerusalem to get the plates of brass from Laban.
Telling Laman and Lemuel would most certainly have some consequences in that they would automatically assu...
