The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints- a poem

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
We believe other lands had visits from Christ.
They saw signs in the heavens, they knew His name.
He taught them, they felt His wounds, He dried their eyes.
The Book of Mormon testifies that He came.
We're Christians otherwise nicknamed “The Mormons”.
The Chur...

Ardour, Jack, Digital Mix Reset
PoeticIntensity
Since I began using Ardour to record music, (and more music), I've always managed to have the same problem crop up, year after year. The symptoms of this problem are annoying to say the least.
I'm running all my audio through an M-Audio 1010 digital interface and I use envy24control to monitor and adjust the channels via. software. I ...

Gotta Start Another Project....
PoeticIntensity
I'm going crazy in my life again. I'm kinda weird that way.
Things are going well and then I finish a project, or get sick of it, or something else. Heck, the whole "project" mentality I have is what started this whole "ilovemyjournal" thing (as well as ldscompanion.org). I also wrote and produced 17 very ama...

THis is dedicated to my son Shawn VanWagen who left on his mission in 2005 and that next week I started writing poetry. It has been a big part of my life since and has kept me very busy. Also, to President Hinckley and his challenge for the members to read the book of mormon. and to Bernice Hutchenson w...

Amber's Poem
pulupaki_famili
(poem)
One day along time ago,
Before the world began
A plan was given to each of us
It was placed in our willing hands
There were two parts to this plan
One was for all the world
The other plan was just for us
About our life and what was in store
This first plan included a Savior
Jesus Christ, our brother
He will come to earth...

Gen. Conf. - Words Never Cease - Holland
PoeticIntensity
I watched this talk about 2 months ago and was very impressed by what Elder Jeffrey R. Holland proclaimed.
Down to its essence, Elder Holland simply states case after case as to why it makes no sense the claim that God has ceased speaking to us.
Quite frankly, I believe him. With overwhelming evidence given, it's hard not to see the clear...

Mosiah : 27

Reading the beginning of this chapter, it's interesting that Mosiah put laws into place which made voicing anything which could be interpreted as "persecutions" against the church, illegal - and it seemed to work. There was "peace" for a number of years due to that law. The church even began to grow and prosper more ...

It's chapters like these that get me thinking about the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ and the "end of the world". Reason is, is that this chapter happens just a few years before the 1st coming of Christ. For some reason I analyze these chapters to death, and each time I do, I find more things that seem to parallel what may (or ma...
