Post by Nephi – The written word and my capacity with written words already put this post in jeopardy. What I want to stress is the pure joy there is in doing something exactly as the Lord directs. There is no surprise here. I look around and see Gods fantastic craftsmanship in this world He…

God does destroy the wicked.
Post by Nephi – I just got done posting about how our journey in the wilderness is so much like that of the children of Israel and Moses. I certainly hope the similarities of our journey ends there. I’ve been told by the Lord that the ship which we will certainly build, will carry us…
Nephi’s Broken Bow
Post by Nephi – Laman, Lemuel and the sons of Ishmael reached the level of complete absence of reason – again. I can’t blame any of our family for commenting on their total exhaustion. I too am pushed to my limits. But with all the Lord has done for us, how can we abandon our…
Hard things against the wicked
Post by Nephi – Here is a question. How do you speak hard things to wicked people and expect them to enjoy it. I declared the truth to my brothers and being guilty, they took it pretty hard. They said it was so hard they couldn’t take it. The truth justifies the righteous but cuts…
Filthy rivers and awful gulfs – oh brother.
Post by Lemuel – Our father and his visions are enough to make a guy crazy. Or should I say make two families crazy. Laman has been trying to explain to us what all this stuff our father said means. He got so confusing, there were times I wished Nephi was around, but he took…
Finally rid of Nephi
Post by Laman – This is Laman, I will be taking over the blog now. Nephi finally went too far. Our father commanded us to go back to Jerusalem to bring back some women and we were told to try Ishmael’s family first, not a totally bad choice. Ishmael was certainly more receptive to our…
Daughters and sons for my children to marry
Post by Lehi – After I finished sharing several prophesies about my posterity with my family, the Lord spoke to me once more. He told me that it was not right for me to take my family into the wilderness alone and that it would be wrong for my sons to be without wives. He…
The Plates of Brass
I know my father loves us and was worried for us, but when his excitement for the plates seemed to exceed his joy for our safe return, I take no offense. I just think he knew we would be safe all along.
Constrained by the Spirit to Slay Laban
Post by Nephi – After admonishing my brothers with several illustrations of the Lord’s power, they reluctantly and unhappily followed me back to the outer walls of Jerusalem. It was night time after my brothers had hidden themselves, when I made my way back into the city towards Laban’s house. I was being led by…
Our New Approach with Laban
Post by Nephi – Laban had made it very clear he was not going to give up the records merely for the asking. Laban’s anger and his attempt on Laman’s life made that fact pretty clear, and Laman didn’t hesitate to remind us of that as I tried to convince my brothers that we must…
