Jacob : 6
PoeticIntensity
The first thing which caught my eye in this chapter is in verse 5 where it says "Cleave unto God as he cleaveth unto you."
When I read that, the first thing which came to mind was D&C 88:63, which states, "Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you."
I also think this is one of the first times, if not the first time...

Jacob : 5
PoeticIntensity
The first thing I thought of when I read this chapter, besides, "Holy moly, it's like almost midnight and I'm gonna dive into Jacob 5??", was the following:
In Jacob 4:1, he states how hard it was for them to keep plates, due to the difficulty in engraving. Well.... With that in mind, I asked myself, "How important is J...

Day 3 - Colorado Trip
PoeticIntensity
Today was pretty laid back. We watched one session of conference (Annie and Craig were gracious enough to let us watch it on their TV), played a lot of Brandon's new Wii, and went to a park which was pretty cool.
Other than that, today was .... average.
Here are some pics of the park.

Wow... It really is amazing what a good night's sleep can do to one's attitude. I don't know if everyone is affected this way, but man... Yesterday, it was all I could do to keep myself from just walking away from everyone and going to sleep. I was irritable, quick to frustration, and a general jerk to pretty much everyone.

Changing Ryan's Clutch

Today I anticipated changing the clutch on Ryan's 1995 Mustang GT for about 3 hours. I got up at 7:30 to do it, and I'm writing this about 2 hours after we finished. Needless to say, it was an all-day adventure - and holy cow, were we dirty.
I didn't have the sense to take a picture of both of us before I took a shower, but I did of ...

2nd Nephi : 13
PoeticIntensity
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...

The bug is concerning network cards plugg...

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.
