Alma : 16
PoeticIntensity
The main thing that stuck out in this chapter was obviously the destruction of Ammonihah. As I've stated in a previous post, I find it so interesting that one of the judges of Ammonihah was the one who mentioned that "even if thou shalt declare this city shall be destroyed in one day, we shall not believe it." It was as if the...

Alma : 15
PoeticIntensity
How in the world do you do what Alma and Amulek did in verse 2? Honestly, I don't know. Also, another perspective is - how in the world do you take what Alma and Amulek just said? It'd have to be something like, "Yeah, we were just in Ammonihah, after you guys were thrown out, and we had to endure watching the kings and pries...

Well.. Yesterday, I was running on what I thought would be a low tank of sleep, but I didn't really ever get tired. I ended up having a fairly full day, spending most of the afternoon with Steve, and then practicing with Plan B from 7:30 until 10pm. Man, what a blast that is. I love playing with them. I love music.
Anyway, I arrived ho...

Obama on Jay Leno
PoeticIntensity
While my wife and I were watching The Office tonight, we got wind of President Obama being on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, so we decided to stay up to watch it.
Well, I just got done watching it, and before I forget, I have to write down some initial thoughts.
To begin, I am by absolutely no means whatsoever any source of any credible politi...

2nd Nephi : 9 - Part 1

Before I even begin reading this chapter, I've gotta let you know that this chapter intimidates me. It is so doctrinally rich, I'm seriously getting anxious just thinking about having to decipher its contents here and now. I know this anxiety is unfounded because I know that God answers prayers, and I've prayed, so... Let's get to it.

And yet you broke my heart.

I can't think of anyonelse!

Why was I never good enough for you?
How come I'm alone?
I wanted to give you my heart,
But you just can't be true,
Can you?
Now your running around,
