Ya know... I think this little line from this chapter (verse 5) which, I believe could apply to anyone, anywhere, and would be a great little line to post on your wall, and look at every day.
"And now there was nothing in all the land to hinder the people from prospering continually, except they should fall into transgression"

Kaelynn Allred - Back To Love
AudioGuru
The studio has been busy as ever, and some improvements are coming down the pipeline, but before we get to that, let me say that I had the privilege of working with another wonderful young lady last week.
Kaelynn Allred's new song, "Back To Love" is about as cute as they come. Tying sweet themes from nursery rhymes into a smile-in...

Wow... What a week this has been!
Yesterday, we welcomed in a new client, ScramJet to the studio by running a recording marathon with them!
We pulled a full 8-hour session and all through yesterday, we managed to get recordings for three whole songs. By the end of the day, our engineer was ready to collapse.
Today, they all came back to...

Daddy's Little Soldier - Finished
AudioGuru
Last night, Christie Berube came over for the finishing session on her new song, Daddy's Little Soldier, and to be honest, it was a complete honor to work with her on such a brilliant piece of musical artwork.
As an afterthought, I usually like to listen to the final master on as many different sound systems as possible, just to learn from what ...

Christie Berube Session

When new clients come into the studio, I never quite know what to expect. Tonight, I met a wonderfully talented young lady named Christie Berube, and proceeded to be wowed by a wonderful song she had written, called "Daddy's Little Soldier".
While working through this song, I was almost moved to tears again and again while we fle...

Just let them know h...

PoeticIntensity
Reading this chapter with Mormon talking quite frankly to the reader of his book is really quite inspirational. The later verses of this chapter would be ones to really dig at and lean into every word which is written.
The testimony within me of the Book of Mormon is probably the oldest testimony I have. The only one I can think of wh...

Anyway... I have a few words to say ab...

2nd Nephi : 2 - Part 1

Before I even begin reading this one, I've gotta say that 2nd Nephi 2 is one of the power-doctrine chapters. I'll be surprised if I can get through reading this today.
Verse 2 contains an interesting phrase: Consecrate thine afflictions for thy gain. This brings to mind quite a few cross-references, but can you imagine how much...
