Alma : 16
PoeticIntensity
The main thing that stuck out in this chapter was obviously the destruction of Ammonihah. As I've stated in a previous post, I find it so interesting that one of the judges of Ammonihah was the one who mentioned that "even if thou shalt declare this city shall be destroyed in one day, we shall not believe it." It was as if the...

How in the world do you do what Alma and Amulek did in verse 2? Honestly, I don't know. Also, another perspective is - how in the world do you take what Alma and Amulek just said? It'd have to be something like, "Yeah, we were just in Ammonihah, after you guys were thrown out, and we had to endure watching the kings and pries...

This Morning...
PoeticIntensity
Well.. Yesterday, I was running on what I thought would be a low tank of sleep, but I didn't really ever get tired. I ended up having a fairly full day, spending most of the afternoon with Steve, and then practicing with Plan B from 7:30 until 10pm. Man, what a blast that is. I love playing with them. I love music.
Anyway, I arrived ho...

While my wife and I were watching The Office tonight, we got wind of President Obama being on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, so we decided to stay up to watch it.

To begin, I am by absolutely no means whatsoever any source of any credible politi...

MythTV Basement Home Theater

I had a couple of things for which I wanted to use the basement, namely 1. My Home...

This chapter is a great pre-cursor to the chapters to follow. Nephi explains why he like the words of Isaiah, as well as the fact that he likes to bring people to Christ.

To have that taken away which is precious to you usually results in one of two things. Either you do what is required to get back what was taken from you, or you devalue the thing which was taken, justifying its absence.

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'...
