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

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

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:

Reading through Alma 60 and 61, I can vividly imagine what it would be like to live in times like those. I imagine the cry for freedom being heard through the streets, as neighbors and friends decide to take up arms in defense of our right to worship how we want, and for the protection of our families, traditions, and way of life.

Wow... 3rd Nephi 17. This has been one of my top 5 all-time favorite scriptural chapters since I first read it when I was 14. I love it.
The first 6 verses, to me, envelop the love Christ has for us, and the appreciation He must feel when we show our grattitude toward Him. There were no words uttered by his audience, yet H...

So... I thought I'd be going to bed, but here I am.
When the Spirit directed me to come down and write down my testimony, I wasn't (and still am not) quite sure what to write. This certainly isn't due to a lack of testimony comparative to other times I've done this, but rather quite the exact opposite. It is because my tes...

1st Nephi : 12 - Beautiful Yet Horrible

I had forgotten that in this chapter, Nephi sees the Lord descend from heaven to the people who would be born from Nephi.
I put myself in his situation, and quite honestly , I have no idea how I would react. It would be so supremely surreal - seeing your kids' kids' kids' kids, and then seeing the Savior of the world show himself unto them....

Reading the beginning of this chapter, I knew this was where the Lamanites and Nephites would enter into free commerce with one another.

Honest living of the Gospe...

Words Of Mormon

Today during gospel doctrine, our teacher brought up a point I'm not entirely sure I knew or not.
When Nephi states that he is keeping the record for a "wise purpose" in God, yet Nephi openly states he doesn't know what that purpose is, I've always assumed that purpose is the coming forth of the Book of Mormon.
And I was right...&nb...
