The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints- a poem

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
We believe other lands had visits from Christ.
They saw signs in the heavens, they knew His name.
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”.
The Chur...

Ardour, Jack, Digital Mix Reset
PoeticIntensity
Since I began using Ardour to record music, (and more music), I've always managed to have the same problem crop up, year after year. The symptoms of this problem are annoying to say the least.
I'm running all my audio through an M-Audio 1010 digital interface and I use envy24control to monitor and adjust the channels via. software. I ...

Gotta Start Another Project....

I'm going crazy in my life again. I'm kinda weird that way.
Things are going well and then I finish a project, or get sick of it, or something else. Heck, the whole "project" mentality I have is what started this whole "ilovemyjournal" thing (as well as ldscompanion.org). I also wrote and produced 17 very ama...

THis is dedicated to my son Shawn VanWagen who left on his mission in 2005 and that next week I started writing poetry. It has been a big part of my life since and has kept me very busy. Also, to President Hinckley and his challenge for the members to read the book of mormon. and to Bernice Hutchenson w...

Amber's Poem
pulupaki_famili
(poem)
One day along time ago,
Before the world began
A plan was given to each of us
It was placed in our willing hands
There were two parts to this plan
One was for all the world
The other plan was just for us
About our life and what was in store
This first plan included a Savior
Jesus Christ, our brother
He will come to earth...

With everything going on that has to do with running Art City Sound, and making sure everything is taken care of, it's easy to forget what is really important.

This chapter is full of doctrinal nuggets.
Some things I noticed this time around which I haven't noticed before are the following:
Verses 6-8 are primarily about the importance of revelation. We are told this importance is denounced by our time's people in 2nd Nephi 28:5-6. I had never made that connection before.

Before I even begin reading this chapter, I've gotta let you know that this chapter intimidates me.

I know this anxiety is unfounded because I know that God answers prayers, and I've prayed, so... Let's get to it.

I always thought his brothers were kind of rude to ...
