Post by Nephi – Have you ever been so distraught that when you went to God in prayer, it was if you were crying and pleading with your parents when you were a child? That is how I have become. My brothers have become so angry with me, I go to my Lord and present…
I lament my weakness
Post by Nephi – This will certainly not surprise you to hear that Laman and Lemuel and the sons of Ishmael are angry again. And of course, it is a result of my admonishing them of the Lord. It has only been a few days since my father was buried. Most of what my father…
I miss my sweet husband Lehi
Post by Sariah – I miss my dear husband Lehi. I hope to join him soon as I miss him so. My pain is so strong I sometimes wish I had perished when I was brought so near to death when my dear Nephi was so cruelly mistreated by his brothers. Yet, despite my current…
Lehi’s Death
Post by Nephi – I write to share a great heaviness I feel at the death and burial of my father Lehi. It has been many years since we left the land of Jerusalem and through all those years he and my mother Sariah gave everything they had to lead, encourage and love a somewhat…
Fruit of My Loins
Post by Joseph – Jacob told you about his blessing and the teachings he received from our father. Though my father did the same with me, rather than teach doctrines of great profoundness, he mostly prophesied about my posterity and taught me about my ancestor for whom I was named. As Jacob said, we two…
Opposition – key to God’s purposes.
Post by Jacob – My father Lehi has taught our family the doctrines of salvation as long as anyone can remember. Nephi has elaborated or clarified those doctrines all along the way. Yet now it seems my turn to talk a little about a doctrine that seems fundamental to the Savior’s plan of salvation. My…
We are taught sufficiently.
Post by Jacob – Nephi referred to my older brothers acting with “much rudeness” when we were on the ship. I would like to comment on that experience. Nephi needed a better word than rude. Rude doesn’t even come close to describe their behavior. I don’t remember with great detail because I was so young,…
Hello, I am Jacob
Post by Jacob – Nephi mentioned in an earlier post that several children were born in the wilderness as the family traveled toward the sea, as well as while we were in the land called Bountiful. That would only be natural considering, as we are told, a special trip was made from the wilderness to…
A New Land of Inheritance
Post by Lehi – As I’ve seen in vision, the land of our inheritance at Jerusalem has been conquered and Jerusalem destroyed. Many times as we journeyed in the wilderness my sons longed to return. Our life there was indeed more comfortable, we had been prospered by the Lord, yet glory be to His name…
Jerusalem has fallen!
Post by Daniel – My beloved brother it has happened – Jerusalem, the great city, has fallen. The House of the Lord is no more. Oh, how I roll in the dust and ashes as I think of that royal house, our magnificent temple, now defiled. My eyes fill with tears of sorrow as the…
