Hehe.... According to this verse, I guess even Lamanites can learn!
"Stand fast in the liberty wherewith God has made us free!"
Yeah... I think I'm gonna have that made into a poster, and hang it on my wall or something.
The big message of this chapter, and the few preceeding it, for me, would have to be "Rely on The Lord for y...

Better All The Time!
AudioGuru
Due to the amazing success Advanced Budget Studios has had in the short time since opening, we've added a few new toys to the studio. We now employ an Audix D6 kick microphone, which adds some serious punch to any acoustic drum tracks.
We also now have some serious firepower on acoustic guitars and drum overheads. We've acquired a mat...

PoeticIntensity
Yet another great strategy-based chapter. I'm kind of tired right now, and this chapter wasn't really loaded with doctrinal insights, but I will say that if there's any question about whether or not obedience has its rewards, you'll have to read verses 21-27. Definitely makes me want to both learn about and obey my Heavenly Father...

One More for The Blue Aces

We recently had the pleasure of working with The Blue Aces again, and as expected, they were stellar. This time around, however, they recorded an acoustic song which really contrasts the versatility in their song-writing. The song is called "One Of The Heart" and should be available soon.
Lookin' forward to doing more work w...

Ya know... The explanations of the strategy of war really is interesting to me. But when I come across verses like these, I simply can't help but get chills.

Alma : 56 - Covenants
PoeticIntensity
With all that I've noticed about making covenants this time around, I can't help but notice that this chapter has some very interesting words.
I really do wonder where the line is with covenants we make. In the days of the Book of Mormon, people would rather die than lie or break a covenant. This is made abundantly clear with the eali...

First Impressions : MXL V77

Since the studio's new shining star arrived, we've been having a lot of fun around here. To be honest, the guy who was good enough to sell us our new MXL V77, couldn't say enough about this microphone, which unfortunately is no longer in production, so when it arrived, I had my hopes up quite high - possibly too high.
So, after two successf...

So, Jesse decided that wasn't enough...

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
We believe other lands had visits from Christ.

He taught them, they felt His wounds, He dried their eyes.
The Book of Mormon testifies that He came.
We're Christians otherwise nicknamed “The Mormons”.

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.
