S2 E24 (June 22-28) “I Will Make an Instrument of Thee”

-

Speed warning! I was so excited about the stories this week (Ammon! Abish!) and I had SO MUCH I wanted to tell you, that I kind of become a motor mouth in this episode. If you need it to slow down, adjust the speed on your podcast player. Sorry!


As I mentioned, we get to talk about Ammon and Abish this week! Two of my FAVORITE BofM characters EVER!!! We talk about the different ways that Ammon and Abish found to serve the Lord, how He was able to use them as instruments in His hand, and lessons we can apply to our own lives. Also, Ammon looks like Mattew McConaughey 😂😂😂

That's where I found this gem of an Arnold Friberg painting and LOTR remix:

And someone mentioned that Ammon looks like Matthew McConaughey. What do you think?

This week we talk about the law of opposition, Adam and Eve in the Garden, Nephi's a poet, and the curse of the Lamanites. The Come Follow Me print manual is different from the online version of the manual for the section 2 Nephi 5:20-21 "What was the curse that came upon the Lamanites". I recommend that you read the online version as the most up to date commentary on this section.

Portrait of Rebekah

  I love Rebekah. I love her diligence and her closeness to the Lord. I love that when she had a problem, she knew exactly where to go- to the Lord. Her story is fairly simple. There's not a lot of extra historical text to add in, so I didn't feel like I had quite enough information for an episode. I did want to create a portrait of her though, so here it is! I'll be back next month with an episode about Rachel and Leah (and maybe I'll squeeze a little Rebekah in too). If you want some fun reading while you're waiting, check out the book Rebekah by Orson Scott Card! Click here to download to download a PDF of the artwork.

S2 E30 (Aug 3-9) “Stand Fast in the Faith of Christ”

This week we dive into the "War Chapters" of the Book of Mormon. I wanted to do a scholarly reading and go into the different characters, the battles, the tactics, the strategies...but life had other plans.  This has been a difficult week anxiety-wise as I start to look at going back to school in the middle of a pandemic hotspot. It has made focusing and really "studying" my scriptures difficult. However I found that "feasting on the words of Christ" sometimes means not studying the culture, the word usage, and all the other scholarly information on the text we're reading, but instead it means taking the scriptures that mean something to you and etching them on your heart. Clinging to them in the middle of the war you're fighting. Using them as your umbrella in the storm. So that's what I did this week. I learned several lessons from Captain Moroni, but I distilled the concepts I'm focusing on into 3 P's. I will be: Prayerful, Peaceful
