Alma : 8 - Christ-like Love
PoeticIntensity
It's good to be back. I feel like I really got a lot out of this chapter. It could be simply because this chapter has a couple of verses which always seem to prick my heart. Maybe, maybe not. Anyway...
It seems this chapter is all about love. One of the verses found here is so poignant, it pricks my heart every time...

Memory Retention and Service

Alma : 7
PoeticIntensity
I just finished reading Alma 7 and, once again, am in a state of mind which makes it hard to actually get any spiritual nourishment from it. I'm not entirely sure what's going on with me now-a-days, but I don't really like it all that much.
Anyway... Here goes with what I got from the chapter (it being among the best chapters in the ...

Alma : 6
PoeticIntensity
Once quite awhile ago, my brother came to me and asked me why we go to church, and where is the doctrine concerning church attendance. In addition to Moroni 6 : 4-6, I also gave him Alma 6 : 6.
Other than that, this seems to just be a transition verse from preaching in Zarahemla to preaching in Gideon.
It also speaks about membership of t...

I actually read this yesterday while I was about ready to fall asleep, so, I didn't write anything. However, I did make a goal last year to read through the entire Book of Mormon and write about each and every chapter, so here's what I remember about Alma 5.
Within the first 3 verses, Alma makes it apparent that he is talking to the people ...

New Song - "Dance With Me"

Well... Nothing too exciting in my life, but I thought I'd tell everyone that I wrote a new song. As you can probably guess, it's called Dance With Me. It's nothing more than a bass-line I came up with and a few more instruments.
I've gotta say though, Ryan Phillips, the guy on the guitar is awesome. I love working with him, an...

MythTV Basement Home Theater

About 2 years ago I got this hairbrained idea to use mythtv to create a computer-based full-media center for my basement home theater. At the time, I had a sweet side-job which was paying me nicely, so I had the means to do pretty much exactly what I wanted.
I had a couple of things for which I wanted to use the basement, namely 1. My Home...

2nd Nephi : 20

To tell you the truth, I didn't get much out of the scriptures tonight. There was a verse from which I thought I could derive meaning.
Verse 15.

Ya know, I love verse 6, and verses like it (2nd Nephi 4, for example). The reason is quite simple.
Sometimes it's hard to remember that prophets are people, too. They're just subject to Satan's temptations and mistakes and errors and such as we are. Verses like this remind me that they aren't perfect, and it brings them down to...

But to live defines my weakness

my inadequacy
my wretched mind
my life.
nevertheless!
