Job Security
PoeticIntensity
I've been pondering on how I am to write about this without seeming haughty or prideful, because quite honestly, I feel nothing more than blessed beyond words.
When I was offered this job, it just felt right. Six months previous to my being offered this job, I was offered another job in SLC which seemed right in every aspect but the fact th...

Gen. Conf. - Neighbor - Burton
PoeticIntensity
Reading this talk from Bish H. David Burton really made me feel good. It brought the Spirit of God into my little work office and made me realize how much good there is to be done in the world.
I personally had no idea the church was doing so much to help so many people. I knew of some major disasters in which the church lent a huge h...

FCKeditor Javascript Error Patch

Gen. Conf. - Heed The Prophet - Cook
PoeticIntensity
I just finished reading the first talk given during the Priesthood Session of conference.
Elder Cook talks of the need to give heed to the words of our prophets.
I think of the things in my life I'm doing wrong, and I feel the truth in his words. I need to heed the prophet's counsel more earnestly in many areas of my life.

Mosiah : 18 - 20

I read Mosiah 18 yesterday and found that due to the mindset I'm having now of an overall perspective, it was hard to get into all the details of what Alma was saying. This is a great chapter for new members, or people who are trying to understand baptism.
One question I have always had with this scripture is, "Where did Alma get the ...

There was "peace" for a number of years due to that law. The church even began to grow and prosper more ...

We tracked drums first, which, for my studio, is rare - mostly because drums can get monotonous with nothing b...

Mormon : 4

Man... This chapter was brutal. Wars, wickedness, and death. Seems to me that this is the result of giving power to Satan, letting him run rampant. Hating your neighbor and wanting to kill him for the sake of being bloodthirsty. So terribly sad, and unfortunate.
Interesting in verse 5 that Mormon writes that the wick...

The thing I don't get about these chapters (14 and 15), is that the doctrine A...
