Mosiah : 6 & 7
PoeticIntensity
I read Mosiah 6 quite a while ago, but didn't have the chance to write anything about it. I re-read it again tonight, along with chapter 7.
The last verse of chapter 7 hit me years ago, when I realized the bondage to which the Lord is referring is not only physical bondage, but easily can refer to addictions, beliefs, people, choices, anyt...

I just got done reading the book "A Man Named Dave", after reading "The Lost Boy", and 6 years ago, "A Child Called It".
Ya know... To a certain extent, I enjoy doing things from time to time, to keep myself grounded. To keep myself living in a reality close to what is real for everyone else. I do t...

Mosiah : 5
PoeticIntensity
It seems to me like this chapter has a very deep meaning, but I couldn't quite get it this time.
The whole chapter is about making covenants, and becoming a child of Christ.
It's interesting that after verses 2, 3, and 4, the last word on verse 4 is "joy". After they had heard the word of God, had their hearts changed through ...

With the new design of ILMJ, I thought it fitting for people to be able to add their own static links on their blogs... Doing so is very easy.
A "page" in your blog is simply an entry which stays in the left-hand column on both your main blog site, and each individual entry, as is illustrated below:

About Me
PoeticIntensity
Hi there! I'm PoeticIntensity
I guess this is my journal... still.
I started journaling when I was 14, in 1990, as a new years resolution. I had no idea then just how much I would get into journaling.
It took me 12 years, off and on, to transcode all of my 3000+ journal entries, and then put them into a database. I ...

I decided to get back into reading the scriptures now that I've finished the last conference talks.
This has nothing to do with Mosiah 3, but one thing I neglected to write about was the last gospel doctrine class I attended. Our wonderful teacher, Ryan Anderson taught again, and made a wonderful parallel out of Amalickiah and Satan.

Not much to write about on this chapter... Lots of backbiting, hatred, slaying of kin, destruction of entire civilizations due to war, living in righteousness and prospering because of it. Poisonous serpents, famine, more death, repentance, and just the general way the people live within the pride cycle.
Not a bad chapter, but n...

Interesting that in verses 22 and 23, Amulek states that if they got rid of the righteous, they would ultimately be destroyed. That's a sad prophecy, which unfortunately comes true. They not only got rid of the righteous, they killed them - and swift was the judgement of God upon this whole city.
That's it for this chapter....

2nd Nephi : 4 - Nephi's Psalm
PoeticIntensity
First, a question.
In verse 15, Nephi states that he delights in the scriptures, and that he writes them according to the spirit. Well... That leads me to question whether or not he realized he was a prophet or not. Very interesting, and possibly stupid, question (maybe he already knew about D&C 68:4).
Now, the chunk of ...
