1Nephi 1:20 And when the Jews heard these things they were angry with him; yea, even as with the prophets of old, whom they had cast out, and stoned, and slain; and they also sought his life, that they might take it away. But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance.

Importance of History
I am listening to 1Nephi19 where Nephi tells about his record. I think it is important to record history. I have been wanting to learn more about America and what is going on with its government. I like to listen to Glenn Beck. I want to learn more about the basics though. There is a free BYU class I can take on this topic. I'll check it out. Maybe some people would want to join in.

Focus...
Sometimes it is hard for me to be "in the zone". Wouldn't this be cool - "and he [the Lord] also gave them strength, that they should suffer no manner of afflictions, save it were swallowed up in the joy of Christ" Alma 31:34 Granted this is talking about missionaries with a special role. I think we are meant to suffer some to strengthen and for us to know that God gave us all freedom and some people are going to choose poorly and it hurts. But what if I could tap into this even a little for what I just let "get" to me. I could think of the joy of Christ. That would be awesome I think. I'm going to try it today. Come on affliction...bring it on...(so the point of being "in the zone" is having an eternal perspective on life. If I did, most problems would show their true colors and pale in comparison to Christ's victory!)
