New Song - My Wonder Woman
PoeticIntensity
So lately, I've been posting little snippets on social networking sites about how awesome I think my wife is. I really don't know exactly what has been throwing me into this state of absolute gratefulness for her, but it doesn't seem to be slowing down.
I guess I'm just having a good hard realization that (only 2nd to God himself) she is th...

3 Nephi : 12
PoeticIntensity
Lately, I've been struggling with readaing my scriptures. I'm not entirely sure why, but lately, instead of just hunkering down and doing it because I know it needs to be done (and then reaping the Spirit due to my obedience), I've just had the hardest time sitting down and actually doing it.
Well.. Today I did. I opened to 3rd Nephi ...

gentoo mp3 tag editor
PoeticIntensity
I just spent 20 minutes trying to find a good console-based mp3 tag editor in gentoo, and was surprisingly fruitless in doing so.
After using the wonderful "equery belongs" command tied to an editor I use on my server (but couldn't remember where it came from), the program mp3blaster came up.
Although mp3blaster claims to just be an m...

3 Nephi : 11
PoeticIntensity
I've often wondered what the significance is behind them not understanding God's words the first 2 times. What immediately comes to mind as I ponder this, is the angel Moroni speaking to Joseph Smith 3 times, repeating the exact same message, added upon, each time... But Joseph understood Moroni's words each time. I can't think of...

3 Nephi : 9 & 10
PoeticIntensity
All I've gotta say is - don't get on the wrong side of God. The wrath of God shown in chapter 9 really is quite astounding.
Then, in chapter 10, it's almost as if God's words were pleading to the people... Almost as if God were remorseful of the things He had to do... Claiming, "If ye only had kept my commandments, these th...

The most striking point of this chapter, this time, was the description of the darkness which covered the land after the storm. I've never thought about the darkness as an analogy of Christ's absence. The more I think about it, the clearer it becomes.

PoeticIntensity
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...

In the beginning of this chapter, I didn't realize that the book to which the verses were referring was the Book of Mormon.

This chapter is a great pre-cursor to the chapters to follow. Nephi explains why he like the words of Isaiah, as well as the fact that he likes to bring people to Christ.
