Isaiah

So this week we are in the Isaiah chapters in the Book of Mormon. In the study help it talks about the difficulty of understanding Isaiah and if you don't get just keep reading and it will come. Well i keep reading and it's not happening for me. About the only thing that happened for me this week was one question. Isaiah talks about Angels in the constant act of praising God. How admirable. Please don't get me wrong, i think it is awesome. But as a human, and one in a leadership position I get people brown nosing me all the time and it drives me nuts.So i wonder how God sees this act? is it viewed with a great appreciation? Does he get tired of hearing the same thing all the time? How is this received? Thoughts?

Nephi

I was reflecting on my many experiences reading the Book of Mormon and started to think about Nephi and the way he reacts to his family while in the wilderness. They go through a lot of trials and tribulations, and no matter what the circumstance he still treats them with love and kindness. They murmur and he rebukes them, but he does it with love. They try to kill him and he rebukes them with love. His father the prophet starts to murmur against his god and Nephi finds a way to set him back on the right path with the love of god. I don't think i could have the patience Nephi had. The first time someone tried to kill me would be their last breath if they did not succeed. What a great way to look at life. I hope and pray that one day my friends and family will be able to say that I was able to show the love to them that Nephi did to his family.
