What are miracles? We'll explore a little about how the Hebrews defined them and what the greatest miracle of all is that we can each experience for ourselves.

It appears that Mormon, the abridger of Nephite history, intentionally framed the story of Alma the elder and his people onto Nephi's vision of the tree of life using word links and other imagery.

Doing a bit of a deep dive into Lehi's vision and exploring some fresh takes on various aspects of the symbolic elements and seeing what we can find.

Some thoughts about the unique phrase "eye of faith" that only appears in three places in the Book of Mormon and what some potential meanings are that might go unnoticed, but are powerful beyond imagination. Based on this post of the same name: https://oneclimbs.com/2011/04/04/what-is-the-eye-of-faith

In 1 Nephi 17, Lehi's party arrives at a beautiful paradise they name "Bountiful" at the end of a very difficult 8 year journey in the wilderness. Laman and Lemuel, upon learning that Nephi is planning on building a ship begin to vent their frustrations about their perceived misfortunes and how their lives could have been better if they had remained in Jerusalem. We take another look at Nephi's response to their perspective and examine how we can't control the reality that we didn't get, but we can endure the reality that is before us. 

We live in a world where there are many differences of beliefs, even among others within our own faith traditions. How do we navigate this well and exist with peace with people who don't believe the same way we do? I suppose it is an age-old question but I'd like to share some of my favorite quotes and experiences to add to the topic.
