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...

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:

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'...

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...

If there is one thing throughout all eternity that I do *NOT* want to happen to me, is what happened to the Nephites in verse 15 of this chapter. Having the Lord, God of this earth, proclaim, "Vengeance is mine, and I will repay", kind of makes the hair on my neck stand up. The Lord makes good on all of his promises, and...

I noticed in this chapter that even though many threatenings were made to the king of the land of Jershon (most likely an Ammonite), he didn't seem to care at all. His concentration was on the many poor people of the Zoramites who were coming to his city.
Eventually, I believe this action was the tipping point for the wars forthcoming throu...

Once quite awhile ago, my brother came to me and asked me why we go to church, and where is the doctrine concerning church attendance. In addition to Moroni 6 : 4-6, I also gave him Alma 6 : 6.
Other than that, this seems to just be a transition verse from preaching in Zarahemla to preaching in Gideon.
It also speaks about membership of t...

I've gotta ask. Well, before I do, let me preface the question with the scripture found in 1st Nephi 19. Nephi says he won't write anything unless he thinks it's sacred. Assuming that the prophets after Mosiah thought the same thing, I've gotta ask. Why are verses 1 through 19 even here? I know the Book of Mormon is tr...

My poem
koyote Dreams

It's a new day,
And so I must fight.
Fight for my right live!
As time gose on,
I know my suffering will be small.
But why must I stuggle at all?
Time will go on,
And soon I'll be,
Just another scar on your heart.
Am I so alone?
My sadness and pain,
I'll never show.
But will time go on for me?
Can there be light behind my sorrow...

Seems that this chapter is all about "markings" and the prophecies about the curses put upon people (and which people put upon themselves).

If the fortifications that Moroni built in the beginning were enough to astonish the Lamanites to the point that they were afraid to fight, and then failed to kill even one Nephite, while they themselves were slain to the tune of over 1,000 - I can only imagine what the additional fortifications did... Goes to show that a good Christian...

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 ...
