Most of the time I end up just quoting a lot of scriptures, and then bearing testimony about them. I don't really know enough to "expound" on scripture, really, but I do have a strong testimony.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667724269493668949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478273273186623663.post-48032288528800594572011-09-26T18:09:53.224-07:002011-09-26T18:09:53.224-07:00This seems like part B of your previous post...and...This seems like part B of your previous post...and all of it is so true and so useful to understand.

One thing I've noticed is that Nephi <em>loved</em> Isaiah, and Isaiah is a poet. I also love poetry. Have you ever tried to make a poem that expresses faith, and is <em>good</em>? Not cheesily inspirational, but Isaiah-like? <br /><br />Always, I felt like Nephi needed to give himself a break when it came to his words - because <em>they are amazing</em>, and when I think about it, I think I understand what he means. It is the Spirit that makes his words amazing. It is not his use (or lack of use) of chiasmus, simile, or metaphor. He isn't a writer. He isn't a poet. He's a prophet.<br /><br />I also love what you say about blogging. I've been at the blogging thing for a while, and recently, I've had to ask myself, what is my purpose? I think that I want to be better at being simpler and helping others to feel the Love the the Savior has for them. <br /><br />As always, I love your posts. :)<br />-chococataniaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
