Pages 52-54 1 Nephi 22:17 - 2 Nephi 1:13
I cant help but love the last verse in this section when Lehi begs us to "AWAKE" and shake off things that are holding us down. I love the motivation that it gives me. I know that we may all be locked up in chains and we make not even know it because slowly they come. Thats why I like it. Even writing this right now I realize that I have some chains that I need to shake off. DO YOU???

If any of you know me you know that I am a total "feel good" kinda guy. I love to love and I love to be loved. That being said its not hard to guess that verse 15 of chapter 1 is top of my list. I love imagining myself being encircled about in the Loving arms of Heavenly Father. Can you imagine that day? Ah man it'll be great! I testify that God does love us. No doubt about it. take time to feel that love! Ask God if he does love you. I know he will answer.

Adam fell that we might be and WE ARE THAT WE MIGHT HAVE JOY! Love it believe it recieve it.

Pages 61-63 2 Nephi 3:15 - 2 Nephi 4:23
I like verse 15 in chapter 3. It says " And his name shall be called after me; and it shall be after the name of his father. These verses are obviously talking about Joseph Smith. It is so amazing how great Gods plan is. That even many years ago they knew that God would never completly forget us. That he would never forget us but that he would again call a prophet to direct us all as a whole. I know that Joseph Smith is a Prophet and that we have one on the earth today. I know this because I prayed to know and through the Holy Ghost I recieved a clear answer. You can to.

Pages 64-66 2 Nephi 4:24 - 2 Nephi 5:24
I love what happens all through the end of 2 Nephi chapter 4, it teaches us that we all make mistakes. I am somebody who often gets frustranted and upset at myself when I make mistakes. I get mad and begin to feel imperfect no matter how hard I try. But truth is we all make mistakes, even Nephi who was a prophet well known for his willingness to "go and do" (1 Nephi 3:7). Nobody is perfect. Something that I take from this is to brighten up love yourself. Plead with the Lord for help and you will recieve it.
4/29/12
Pages 67-69 2 Nephi 5:25 - 2 Nephi 7:4
2 Nephi 5 is a great chapter. Thes particular part is where Nephi consecrates Jacob and Joseph his younger brothers with priesthood authority. This is important, the Priesthood is always how Heavenly Father runs his church. The Priesthood is the power to act in the name of God. With it we are able to recieve revelation for the church as a whole. By doing this they "lived after the manner of happiness". I know that we can do that today as we follow the council of our leaders.
4/30/12
Pages 70-72 2 Nephi 7:5 - 2 Nephi 9:7
These chapters are all from Isaiah! I love Isaiah because it is so beautiful. Its hard to understand but so poetic. I love so many things in this like verse 13 in chapter 8 when it talks about how the Lord loves and cares for us and that he even worries for us that we may be ok. I also love when he prophisies of the coming of christ again and how there will be joy and singing. and how sorrow and mourning will flee away. What I like most though is 10 and 11 of chapter 7 because it talks about my blog. Walking in the light of the Lord. May we all do that very thing.
OK truth is I got REALLY BUSY! Ive been doing my reading but due to transfers/new area/ new (AWESOME) companion/packing/unpacking/everything else I've been doing I fell short. This posts will be updated in the future but now we are going to skip up to a current post.

Pages 102-104 2 Nephi 26:14 - 2 Nephi 27:10
To me love is so important. I love verse 30 in chapter 26 were is says in a sense unless we have charity we have nothing. Have you ever heard the phrase "money cant buy love" that is so true. Money cant by happiness either. I remember the times that I felt best was when I had love. When I feel nothing its because I dont have Charity. Charity NEVER FAILS!

HAVING SPIRITUAL HUNGER PAINS?? TAKE SOME DAILY BREAD! THE FIRST BOOK OF NEPHI
Dear STARVING SPIRIT
Have you ever been so hungry that you dont even feel hungry anymore and you just feel pain?
I have. With that let me put a thought in you mind. Do you ever think people get so spiritually hungry that they dont even know their hungry they just feel pain? I do.
I have decided to start somthing new and I'm going to be bold about it. To many people are so darn hungry for spiritual food that they dont even know what to do about it. Believe it or not I have the answer and its found in 2 Nephi 32 verse 3 " Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, bfeast upon the cwords of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will dtell you all things what ye should do." We forget that we have a the the scriptures, testimonies of Jesus Christ who is our Living Water, The Bread of Life that will feed our spirits and calm our agitated souls.
I would like to start a Book of Mormon reading post. Each day I'm going to read 3 Pages of The Book of Mormon and post what I really like about it. Feel free to add your favorite things as you read along with me. The VISION I have for this post is to be done with The Book of Mormon by December 3rd for no important reason ;) . The GOAL is to read 3 pages a day and give us space for some breathing room, the PLAN is to spend a few minutes a day to get some daily spiritual nourishment and obey the commandments of our God.
The Book of Mormon can be found at http://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm?lang=eng
4/7/12
Pages 1-3; 1 Nephi 1 - 1 Nephi 2:4
What I liked about these pages is a gem of knowledge I found from my brother. I really like the way Lehi was called to be a prophet when he "sees a pillar of fire". This is much like the way God has called other Prophets, like Moses through a burning bush. Paul through a "Light from heaven". And of course there was Joseph Smith when he "saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun." Interesting connection huh? Thats what I thought. I hope everyone enjoyed their DAILY BREAD!
4/8/12
Pages 4-6 1 Nephi 2:5 - 1 Nephi 3:20
I really liked these pages and even though its so original you cant over look the famous scripture of 1 Nephi 3:7 Were we learn about how the well give us no commandment unless he KNOWS we will be able to acomplish that thing. I often socond guess myself thinking that "I just dont know if I can do this, Heavenly Father definitly doesnt know how weak I am"... But HE KNOWS. He knows how strong we are he knows that its hard to quite smoking, hard to keep the sabbath day holy, to live the law of chastity, pay tithing, to read atleast 3 pages a day, all of it he knows that its hard but he also KNOWS that you can do it. So do I! Keep the faith Brothers and sisters! Keep reading!
4/9/12
Pages 7-9 1 Nephi 3:21 - 1 Nephi 4:37
These pages some can look at as particularly violent as you read about how Nephi slays Laban what I love about these verses is that if you pay close attention to the verses you will notice that Nephi actually is 100% directed by the spirit in these crucial moments of obtain the brass plates which were key to the salvation and knowlegde of his family for generations to come. In these verses form verse 6 to 18 Nephi is actually prompeted by the Holy Spirit SEVEN different times to slay Laban. I thought this was interesting a quite humble of him. It is better that "one man perish then that a nation dwindle in unbelief". Enjoy the scriptures!
4/10/12
Pages 10-12 1 Nephi 4:38 - 1 Nephi 6:3
Thes pages were good. It was a hard choice decideding what to write about but I can to this conclusion. In chapter five when it talks about how Lehi is a VISIONARY MAN, he rejoices in it actually and he talks about the blessings that come from that aswell. He said he was led to a better place, he understood the goodness of God and had greater faith. As a missionary I like to make the relation of being a VISIONARY MAN and a MISSIONARY MAN. It is important for all of us to keep faithful and to strive to always know and remember the goodness of God. To let the Lord lead you everywhere you go, also to be faithful in the things that are to come. So remember to be a visionary person and a missionary person. It brings blessings just like it brought Lehi blessings.
4/11/12
Pages 13-15 1 Nephi 7:11 -1 Nephi 8:30
My favorite verse in these was verse twelve in chapter 8 I like the way Lehi as soon as he partakes of the fruit and feels the joy. (Just like us partaking of the gospel) He wants to SHARE IT WITH HIS FAMILY. All of us are familys. I know that my faith is what has made me the happiest and I want to share that because It is desireable and prassios. It fills my soul with joy! Do the same. Share with others what brings you joy. How is your reading going?
4/12/12
Pages 16-18 1 Nephi 8:31 - 1 Nephi 10:17
The gem found in this set of verses is found in verse 17 when Nephi speaks about the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is a blessing that is given as a gift to ALL who "diligently seek him," I like this because to often I find myself relying only on myself instead of diligently seeking the gift of the Holy Ghost. I testify that we have been given a gift from God, we didnt get sent here with no help! We have The Gift of the Holy Ghost. AND we have our Savior the Messiah!
4/13/12
Pages 19-21 1 Nephi 10:18 - 1 Nephi 11:36
Well you cant really be having a "read the scriptures blog and not refer to 1 Nephi 11:25. In this verse Nephi speaks of "The Rod of Iron" Which is the "Word of God" And throught it we can safley make it through our sometimes dark and dreary life safely and weill be able to partake of Gods Love. I cant help but quote one of my favorite songs as a child. "
1. To Nephi, seer of olden time,
A vision came from God,
Wherein the holy word sublime
Was shown an iron rod.
[Chorus]
Hold to the rod, the iron rod;
’Tis strong, and bright, and true.
The iron rod is the word of God;
’Twill safely guide us through.
2. While on our journey here below,
Beneath temptation’s pow’r,
Through mists of darkness we must go,
In peril ev’ry hour.
3. And when temptation’s pow’r is nigh,
Our pathway clouded o’er,
Upon the rod we can rely,
And heaven’s aid implore.
How is everyones daily bread?
4/14/12
Pages 22-24 1 Nephi 12:1 - 1 Nephi 13:17
What I like in this section is verse 12. I like this because onece again The reality of The Book of Mormon gets once again solidifiied. Here is where Nephi prophicies of Chirstopher Columbus coming forth across the "many waters" to be the founder of the American Continent. Nephi talks about how he beheld the Spirit of God come to Christopher Columbus. As you read in the journals of Christopher Columbus he speaks of how he was led by the spirit to the Americas. I dont know that you will find this to interesting but I sure did. I love the Book of Mormon and how true the Book really is. I KNOW that Joseph Smith could not have made this things up out of thin air. Read it its true. I know it and you know it.
4/15/12
Pages 25-27 1 Nephi 13:18 - 1 Nephi 14:2
Something I like to do as I read from the scriptures is make them personal to me. I did this in the first verse of Chapter fourteen and it seemed to apply well. TRY IT! Replace your name with "the Gentiles" In the verse so now it says. "And it shall come to pass, that if (ELDER MILLAR) shall hearken unto the Lamb of God in that day that he shall manifest himself unto them in word, and also in power, in very deed, unto the taking away of thee stumbling blocks-"
4/16/12
Pages 28-30 1 Nephi 14:3 - 1 Nephi 15:8
As a missionary I cant read these pages with out pointing out the beauty of verse 7. These verses talk about a great and marvelous work that the Lord will work. I know that I am a part of this work, and like the scrputure says it does bring people to "peace and life eternal". Everyday people hearts are being softened and eyes are being opened as we boldly and persistantly share the Gospel. We are doing a marvelous work! Saving people from the grasps of satan's captivity. I know it because this work is so compelling. It things we accomplish are done because God is with us. This is definitly the most compelling work in the world!
4/17/12
Pages 31-33 1 Nephi 15:9 - 1 Nephi 16:6
I love in the pages how Nephi so subtely and skilling fully trains and corrects his brothers. As we read in the begining Lamen and Lemaul could not understand what Lehi (The 3 brothers father) was talking about. I know that if either of my two brothers came to me wondering what my dad was talking about I probrobly not be smart enough to invite them to pray about it. But Nephi, he does remember. We could all head Nephi's counsel and ASK Heavenly father with a believeing heart and with faith, diligence, and worthy heart and I know he will give us an answer. I know that "surey these things shall be made known unto you."
4/18/12
Pages 34-36 1 Nephi 16:7 - 1 Nephi 17:5
There is a few things that I really like about this section. Ofcourse there is the great admiration that Nephi has for his father as he humbly askes him where to go to obtain food even though he was the one who kept the faith. I also like the way we learn that everyone faces trials and that we are not alone in ours. But I love the ending of verse 29 the most. "And thus we see that by small means the Lord can bring about great things." This is so true small things make the diference like going to church on sunday, praying often and even small things like READING FROM THE BOOK OF MORMON THREE PAGES A DAY!
4/19/12
Pages 37-39 1 Nephi 17:6 - 1 Nephi 17:41
In this section of the Book of Mormon it is Nephi talked to his older brothers Lamen and Lemuel. Nephi is reminding his two brothers who were being faithless and foolish and he recounts to them all the mercy that God has shown to us. and how often he has reached out in love to his children. Nephi goes through the history of all that he has helped them with and then invites them to "KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS" and promises them that if they do they will be blessed. So with that try to remember how merciful God has been to you and then just do it. Keep the commanments the best you can!
4/20/12
Pages 40-42 1 Nephi 17:42 - 1 Nephi 18:17
So often we learn in the scriptures and throughout our lives we learn very much about what to do. But we to often are given examples on "what NOT to do" as well. As I read today I noticed on the margin of my scriptures in orange WHAT NOT TO DO. As I read the verse it was about what Lameen and Lemuel and there I guess you could say friends were doing as they began to forget the blessings given to them from God. The things they were doing that we should NOT be doing were these. They "began to make themselves merry, insomuch that they began to dance, and to sing, and to speak with much rudeness, yea, even that they did forget by what power they had been brought thither; yea, they were lifted up unto exceeding rudeness." In conclusion its my pray we dont forget our God in the great blessings he has given us and give the glory to him.
4/21/12
Pages 43-45 1 Nephi 18:18 - 1 Nephi 19:17
I love when Nephi and his family finally make it to the promise land! Its such a exciting time in the Book of Mormon. Specially because right before there great arrive they have such a great dramatic climax as Nephi pray's with great faith to calm the storm so that they could traval safely. It is my testimony that God does answer prayers! As long as we pray with faith.
4/22/12
Pages 46-48 1 Nephi 19:18 - 1 Nephi 21:11Here I like verse twenty three in chapter nineteen becasue it talks abou the importance of the scripture study and why we do it. Nephi talks about how we "liken the scriptures to us". I know that this is what we are supposed to be doing and is essentially my purpose for this blog. I know if we do the scriptures really will be for our benifit and we will learn from them and they will bless us.
4/23/12
Pages 49-51 1 Nephi 21:12 - 1 Nephi 22:16
There were many great highlights in this section. But something I am going to site here is to help clearify these verses so that they make better sence. I do love the way Prophets are explained here and how it talks about how isreal will be gathered and all of it. But to make things a little more simple it says in verse 11 that the "Lord God will make bare his arm" and simply put that means to show is power. This will simply help you make better sense.
FIRST NEPHI IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you ever been so hungry that you dont even feel hungry anymore and you just feel pain?

Pages 49-51 1 Nephi 21:12 - 1 Nephi 22:16
There were many great highlights in this section. But something I am going to site here is to help clearify these verses so that they make better sence. I do love the way Prophets are explained here and how it talks about how isreal will be gathered and all of it. But to make things a little more simple it says in verse 11 that the "Lord God will make bare his arm" and simply put that means to show is power. This will simply help you make better sense.
FIRST NEPHI IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
