Ya know... I think this little line from this chapter (verse 5) which, I believe could apply to anyone, anywhere, and would be a great little line to post on your wall, and look at every day.
"And now there was nothing in all the land to hinder the people from prospering continually, except they should fall into transgression"

Kaelynn Allred - Back To Love
AudioGuru
The studio has been busy as ever, and some improvements are coming down the pipeline, but before we get to that, let me say that I had the privilege of working with another wonderful young lady last week.
Kaelynn Allred's new song, "Back To Love" is about as cute as they come. Tying sweet themes from nursery rhymes into a smile-in...

Wow... What a week this has been!
Yesterday, we welcomed in a new client, ScramJet to the studio by running a recording marathon with them!
We pulled a full 8-hour session and all through yesterday, we managed to get recordings for three whole songs. By the end of the day, our engineer was ready to collapse.
Today, they all came back to...

Daddy's Little Soldier - Finished

Last night, Christie Berube came over for the finishing session on her new song, Daddy's Little Soldier, and to be honest, it was a complete honor to work with her on such a brilliant piece of musical artwork.
As an afterthought, I usually like to listen to the final master on as many different sound systems as possible, just to learn from what ...

Christie Berube Session
AudioGuru
When new clients come into the studio, I never quite know what to expect. Tonight, I met a wonderfully talented young lady named Christie Berube, and proceeded to be wowed by a wonderful song she had written, called "Daddy's Little Soldier".
While working through this song, I was almost moved to tears again and again while we fle...

Okay...

Reading this chapter with Mormon talking quite frankly to the reader of his book is really quite inspirational. The later verses of this chapter would be ones to really dig at and lean into every word which is written.
The testimony within me of the Book of Mormon is probably the oldest testimony I have. The only one I can think of wh...

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...

Mormon : 5 - Arms of Jesus

So, the past few days have been days of trial, and these days come and go largely, I believe, to help me remember the covenants I've made to God, and to help me remember how sweet it is to feel the Spirit.
When I read the end of verse 11, I wondered what those who had never felt "clasped in the arms of Jesus" might think of those ...

The main thing that stuck out in this chapter was obviously the destruction of Ammonihah.

It was as if the...

I find it interesting how Satan is described throughout scripture.
In this chapter, through verses 13 - 20, Satan is seemingly exposed as the weak fraudster he really is. Verse 16 is quite potent, written from the standpoint of people who were tempted by him, when shown his actual person, are amazed at the frailness of Satan. They say...

Not a bad chapter, but n...
