My New Blog

At the risk of "doing my alms to be seen of men," i.e., letting my scripture study become "playing to the crowd (not that I expect one)," I'm sharing my personal scripture study notes.

My hope is that someone can find some benefit or inspiration, as I have. You won't find doctrinal precision, but you will find sincere efforts at understanding and a genuine focus on the Savior.

With each chunk of Book of Mormon narrative, I've tried to ask, "What does this teach me about the atonement?" and then, "What's the lesson for me right now?" and really take time to arrive at the answers. I've been rewarded with some precious realizations.

I begin with the appearance of the Savior, but will come around to every chapter in the Book of Mormon. You may be surprised, as I was, to see just how present the Savior and His mission are, in every chapter, if you really look.
