Nature's Way Site is Live!
PoeticIntensity
I've been working on this entry for days, and I think I'm finally ready to get it out there.
But first, let me say that this is quite possibly the most rewarding programming job I've done to date.
I was hired on at Nature's Way last year in June. I was hired on with the understanding that I was to completely re-develop the public Nature...

Hello all of you journal people. I was thinking about something today. There is something all of us have in common. We love to write. There are thousands of people out there that love this too. We may not be professional writers, but we will make a difference in the...

Jarom
PoeticIntensity
Jarom, for some reason, didn't seem all that inspired to me, this time around.
The only thing which caused me to question was verse 2.
To me, it seems that Jarom didn't want to write "much" for two reasons: 1. Because the plates are small, and 2. They are being written for the benefit of the Lamanites.
I guess I can u...

Enos
PoeticIntensity
Someone of spiritual authority once told me that anyone who read the book of Enos, and marked his scriptures based on importance, would have the entire book of Enos highlighted.
After reading it this morning, I can see why.
The first thing that hit me was the phrase, and my father "taught me in his language". If we read the fi...

Jacob : 7 - Sherem
PoeticIntensity
I believe that Sherem is the first "villain" of the Book of Mormon after Laman and Lemuel, who could be considered an "anti-christ". Not 100% sure, but I don't remember anything standing out in 1st or 2nd Nephi. This guy reminds me of Nehor, Korihor, and Amalickiah.
Some points of interest this time around are:

2nd Nephi : 13

There are portions of this chapter where I think it is referring to our day, or the latter-days. I'm not sure, though.
Man, to understand this Isaiah stuff, I've really gotta be in a super-spiritual, "yearning after truth", mood or it just doesn't make much sense.
The latter verses I find interesting simply because they are so f...

When I sit and think about what I just read, the 14th chapter of 1st Nephi is pretty crazy.

I believe it's written here to clarify the impact this (these) church(es) has (have) had upon the plain and...

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...

One of the new Herod The Fink tunes will feature the Crafter, and we're excited to get a final mix to see how it sits within the music.

Mormon : 9 - Love?

Growing up, I used to have a mis-conception that those who erred against God in their ways were best suited for rebuke the way God gives it in the scriptures. I was ignorantly judgemental, and for a long time, couldn't understand why people tended to shy away from my tactics.
Reading the beginning of this chapter brings back a lot of those ...

So, this chapter seems to be about the rise and fall of the people, and the rulers who ruled both in righteousness and wickedness.
