Alma : 21
PoeticIntensity
Confrontation and contention has always been an interesting thing for me. For one, I hate it and I don't know how to deal with it. I'm a passionate person in every sense of the word. The moment I feel like I'm being attacked, it's everything I have to do to keep my head level and my blood from boiling. Unfortunately, this ke...

Alma : 20
PoeticIntensity
The first thing that stood out to me this time around was the anger of Lamoni's father. Try to place yourself in the situation Lamoni found himself in. There are so many variables in the situation, it's hard to imagine exactly what was going on with the family undercurrents, but holy cow. Lamoni's father drew his freaking sword an...

Alma : 19
PoeticIntensity
One thing that comes to mind while reading the first verses of this chapter is, "If I were a queen, and my servants brought me my unconscious husband, I'd immediately want to know who did it." - and Ammon did it. That doesn't make much sense to me. Obviously the times of the Book of Mormon were , uh, different, so that could e...

It's been awhile since I continued on in my quest to read and write about each and every chapter in the Book of Mormon, but, I'm still at it! I'm gonna finish! Here's Alma 18:
The first thing I notice this time around is something I don't think I've ever noticed before.
In order to feel badly about doing something, you have to at le...

Disney DRM, Ripping DVDs
PoeticIntensity
Lately, I've been viewing a few Disney flicks on DVD. I got Bolt and Bedtime Stories. Because I usually rent them on redbox and can only have them for a day, I will rip them, and then when I get around to it, I'll watch em' then delete them. No problems with that, as far as I can see. I rent them to view them once, and that'...

I've been debating on whether or not to write about this, and if I write about it, whether or not to make it public.

ILMJ Photo System?

So lately I haven't had any major projects going on involving programming, and I started to miss it, so I decided to act upon a thought I had about a month ago.

So, two day...

So, today, I went and investigated a bit of whether I could get the proper tool...

2nd Nephi : 23
PoeticIntensity
All I gotta say about this chapter is man, I do not want to be on the wrong side of things when the 2nd coming of Christ is ushered in.
Verses like 16 and 18 really hit home on what we're in for.
I can only assume the destruction of Babylon can be typed as a metaphor for what is coming when Christ comes again....

1st Nephi : 8
PoeticIntensity
I'm not in the mood to write much, but since it's a goal, I'll keep it.
One thing I noticed and had a question about was why Nephi, Sariah, and Sam didn't know where to go in Lehi's dream. Verse 14 lays it out quite plainly.
The first thing that came to mind was Lehi was the leader of the family. He was the director and it was his d...

The first thing I noticed this time, is that apparently, Helaman had never had any proof of the existence of the plates of gold Alma and the previous prophets were writing on. Not entirely sure why that caught my fancy this time, but it did. I guess keeping the historical records was a pretty sacred thing back then. I wonder if th...

Ether : 5
PoeticIntensity
So... To be honest, this chapter is kind of confusing. Verse 1 and 2 is like Moroni is talking directly to Joseph Smith, due to his referencing the ability to "translate". That in itself is kind of cool. I've often thought what it must have been like to be Joseph Smith receiving the plates and translating when he gets to...

Gen. Conf. - Words Never Cease - Holland
PoeticIntensity
I watched this talk about 2 months ago and was very impressed by what Elder Jeffrey R. Holland proclaimed.
Down to its essence, Elder Holland simply states case after case as to why it makes no sense the claim that God has ceased speaking to us.
Quite frankly, I believe him. With overwhelming evidence given, it's hard not to see the clear...

3 Nephi : 20
PoeticIntensity
So, in Gospel Doctrine, from time to time, we talk about praying, and how we're supposed to pray all the time, and then we get the comments that it's impossible to "pray" all the time, and then someone else says that we need to be praying "always" in our hearts. That's true, and verse 1 of this chapter is Jesus' commandmen...

It feels quite refreshing to be able to understand more than just a couple of verses again. As I was reading tonight, I realized how much could be written about this chapter. It's quite full of good doctrine.

From verse 1 until 6, Nephi seems to be trying to explain the "hard to understand" n...
