Sorely Creative Weekend
PoeticIntensity
Where do I even begin? Well... The craziness began on Thursday of last week, so I'll start there.
*THURSDAY:
Every year, my uncle Cloy and Evelyn Jones have a family reunion intended for their family. I'm not entirely sure why, but my parent's family has been invited to this reunion for a long time. Some years we go, som...

3 Nephi : 4

This chapter is great. All I gotta say is, if you follow the counsel of the Lord, all will be well.
Oh, yeah, also - Zemnarihah had to have had a brain about the size of a peanut. Great way to get all of your people killed....

3 Nephi : 3
PoeticIntensity
Okay... So the past few chapters, I've been ragging on how wishy-washy the average human soul must be in order for signs of the Messiah's birth to be taken so lightly...
Well... This chapter leads me to believe that there were still quite a few believers who held true through all of the dissenting.
The part I liked most about this chapter...

3 Nephi : 2
PoeticIntensity
Ya know... I think these chapters are meant to teach us how frail the hearts of men are. Okay... Here's a good question.. How long did it take the Nephites to go from "seeing the sign of the birth of Jesus Christ" (this is *Christ* we're talking about here. *The Messiah*. How long did it take them from seeing that ...

3 Nephi : 1
PoeticIntensity
So, we're starting 3rd Nephi. This should prove to be interesting.
The first thing I noticed was, again, how quickly (and stupidly) people make up excuses for that which is obviously true.
I imagine that living during the time all these miracle were happening (and increasing), would be such a gift. The signs and miracles profesied b...

Very interesting that the word "hate" is used in this context. Very interesting, indeed. I'm not quite sure what to make of it, but it's quite interesting there were no other words chosen. I find it difficult to associate the word "hate" with God. I've gotta ponder on that one for a bit.

This chapter was interesting. The first thing I noticed is that Samuel had some serious insight as to things of God. He prophesied of the destruction of the entire Nephite nation in the last chapter, and in this chapter, he details quite specifically, events which were to occur at both the birth and the death of Christ.

Yeah, I don't think it could have been that easy. How often do we find any reason at all to get out of doing what God wants us to do? Well, God told Samuel he...

I had a couple of things for which I wanted to use the basement, namely 1. My Home...

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.
