Helaman : 13
PoeticIntensity
Okay.. I've never thought of this before, but, how convenient do you think it was for Samuel to climb up on a wall, built around a city most likely to keep people out? 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...

Best Gig Ever
PoeticIntensity
So two days ago, I found myself on the same stage with the same band I've been with for the past 5 (or so) years, playing pretty much the same songs.
Except, this time, something was different. As I walked around looking at all of the awesome vehicles on the grounds, there was just something wonderful. I have no idea how to describe i...

Helaman : 12 - Happiness
PoeticIntensity
Anyone who knows what Helaman 12 is all about is probably wondering how in the world I could label this chapter as "Happiness". hehe...
Yesterday, I was having a very interesting conversation about happiness with a dear friend of mine, and oddly enough, today's chapter was Helaman 12, which of course, talks all about the frailties...

Amazing... It's almost unbelievable that in the space of less than 13 years, a whole nation can go from being wicked, to almost dying of hunger, to becoming incredibly righteous and prosperous, and then coming back to being so wicked that the combined armies of the Nephites and Lamanites can't defeat the wicked part of the people.

Jackson Guitar...
AudioGuru
So, a few weeks ago, the studio acquired a Jackson electric guitar and didn't really have any experience with it. So a good friend and client of the studio came in and messed around a bit with it, and using a great dual-mic technique to get the most out of the amp, we managed to get a very, very nice guitar tone out of it.
Soon, it will be ...

So, due to the success we've been having with the studio, we were able to upgrade our two in-studio guitars. We bought a new black Crafter acoustic guitar, which sounds just awesome. One of the new Herod The Fink tunes will feature the Crafter, and we're excited to get a final mix to see how it sits within the music.
We also bought a ...

Amazing. A couple of chapters ago, I was commenting on the sad state which Nephi found himself in, and the amazing faith he must have had to remain in a state of faithfulness to God, when everyone around him was wicked.
I guess that's the way it goes. God tries us to our breaking point, careful not to give us trials beyond our capabil...

Helaman : 8, 9

Seems that the testimony of Nephi against the people of Zarahemlah was centered around their disbelief in Christ. Interesting that, as soon a Satan has control over a people, Christ is the first doctrine which is attacked.
Also the story of the finding of the murderer of Seezoram is interesting through the eyes of the foreknowledge of God.&...

So... I remember Nephi coming back to his own people and seeing them in a state of wickedness, but I didn't remember that he had just been on a mission where everyone in the land northward rejected his word, too. That would be an incredible test of faith in an of itself. Only the most stalwart followers of God, in my view, could t...

2nd Nephi : 2 - Part 1

Before I even begin reading this one, I've gotta say that 2nd Nephi 2 is one of the power-doctrine chapters. I'll be surprised if I can get through reading this today.
Verse 2 contains an interesting phrase: Consecrate thine afflictions for thy gain. This brings to mind quite a few cross-references, but can you imagine how much...
