Marathon Week
AudioGuru
Most normal people would be exhausted right about now, but I guess when ya love what ya do, doing more of it is just invigorating. So, yesterday evening we were at it again with The Blue Aces, recording the last single, which is sure to be a hit, of their first demo! The song is called Dance With Me. Now it's on to the mixing and ...

Hmm.... Another war started by another group of dissenters. Man alive... Seems like the story is all the same. People who want to rule another nation end up being sparked and fed by dissenters of the nation they want to rule (think of Amalickiah)... *sigh*
The latter half of this chapter is a great reminder of what h...

It seems that this chapter is just a informational chapter on the goings on over a space of quite a few years. Heh... That's pretty general, but there's really not any story-line, or analogy, or deep doctrine here...

Ibanez SR-300 + Kustom Amp!
AudioGuru
Since we've opened for business, and even before, I've started to notice a sad trend in recording audio. This is speaking extremely generally, and there have been a few people who have definitely broken the mold, but in my experience, I've noticed that the musical instrument getting the least amount of love is the bass guitar.
For the most ...

Ya know... I sure would like to know what the politics of the time were back then. Helaman's guard was able to single-handedly save the newly-appointed chief judge, by disguise, intellect, and ultimately a firm blade straight through the heart. Yet, the account says nothing of telling anyone what was happening during the incident....

Interesting that, again, the pride of one man seemed to be the reason of much wickedness and death. If Paanchi would have just accepted the rule of his own brother because he was voted in by the majority, I'll bet the whole war with Coriantumr wouldn't have happened.
That being bad enough, doesn't hold a candle to what happened with Kishkum...

Okay... I forgot that Alma had 63 chapters.
This chapter has always just kind of made me raise an eyebrow while reading it. I must say, I felt the Spirit while reading it, and I know it's true, but I wonder why it was written.
Why did Mormon dedicate half a chapter to people "going northward"? And what about the ships?&nbs...

Within the first 5 verses of this chapter, I'm reminded again of how a person works who is truly interested in God's commandments.
Lehi was commanded of the Lord to have his sons return to Jerusalem to get the plates of brass from Laban.

This chapter is quite possibly one of the most potent chapters in all of the Book of Mormon.

All I've got to say is, "Wow...

So, he liked it so much, and from what I could tell, ...
