Alma : 8 - Christ-like Love
PoeticIntensity
It's good to be back. I feel like I really got a lot out of this chapter. It could be simply because this chapter has a couple of verses which always seem to prick my heart. Maybe, maybe not. Anyway...
It seems this chapter is all about love. One of the verses found here is so poignant, it pricks my heart every time...

Memory Retention and Service
PoeticIntensity
An interesting concept was brought up during an interesting class I had on Sunday.
Last year, I went to the normal gospel doctrine class almost all year and enjoyed almost every class. We had a fabulous teacher who really brought the class alive with discussion about interesting concepts. Never once was a spirit of contention fall up...

Alma : 7
PoeticIntensity
I just finished reading Alma 7 and, once again, am in a state of mind which makes it hard to actually get any spiritual nourishment from it. I'm not entirely sure what's going on with me now-a-days, but I don't really like it all that much.
Anyway... Here goes with what I got from the chapter (it being among the best chapters in the ...

Well.... It became time again quickly to have a LAN party after the craziness of the holiday season. So, we decided to have one two days ago. It was fairly awesome.

Alma : 6
PoeticIntensity
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...

Alma : 5
PoeticIntensity
I actually read this yesterday while I was about ready to fall asleep, so, I didn't write anything. However, I did make a goal last year to read through the entire Book of Mormon and write about each and every chapter, so here's what I remember about Alma 5.
Within the first 3 verses, Alma makes it apparent that he is talking to the people ...

New Song - "Dance With Me"
PoeticIntensity

Well... Nothing too exciting in my life, but I thought I'd tell everyone that I wrote a new song. As you can probably guess, it's called Dance With Me. It's nothing more than a bass-line I came up with and a few more instruments.
I've gotta say though, Ryan Phillips, the guy on the guitar is awesome. I love working with him, an...

So, I went over to my brother's house armed with a determination to figure this stuff out, and I'll ...

So I wasn't really interested in getting yet another member of my little growing studio family, but I couldn't help but get this one after playing it at the local music store. Found it on a killer sale at samash, so I pulled the trigger.
Available to all studio clients for recording.
Isn't she gorgeous? She sounds awesome, too....

2nd Nephi : 4 - Part 1

One thing which caught my eye this time, was the phrase, "I know that if ye are brought up in the way ye should go ye will not depart from it."
I had to stop and read the sentence 4 or 5 times, just to make sure I wasn't seeing things.
The footnotes on that sentence seem to confirm the vague meaning I'm deriving from it as well.
