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

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.

1st Nephi : 19

Ya know, I love verse 6, and verses like it (2nd Nephi 4, for example). The reason is quite simple.
Sometimes it's hard to remember that prophets are people, too. They're just subject to Satan's temptations and mistakes and errors and such as we are. Verses like this remind me that they aren't perfect, and it brings them down to...

3 Nephi : 25 - Burn Like An Oven

Among the discussions I've had of the scriptures, this one is always a fun one.
"When God says that the earth is gonna burn, does he mean it literally? Are the wicked really gonna burn at the second coming?"
Honestly, for me, I have enough scriptural evidence to convince me to respond in the affirmative.
Thoughts?

Feeling as though worthlessness is she who has found me...

of creative decay.

But to live defines my weakness
my misunderstanding
my inadequacy
my wretched mind
my life.
nevertheless!

Before I even begin reading this one, I've gotta say that 2nd Nephi 2 is one of the power-doctrine chapters. I'll be surprised if I can get through reading this today.
Verse 2 contains an interesting phrase: Consecrate thine afflictions for thy gain. This brings to mind quite a few cross-references, but can you imagine how much...
