Thinker, dreamer, trying-to-figure-out life-er. I frequently attempt to paint a pink and sparkly picture on gloomy doomy blahs. I firmly believe that Life is Good. Even the unwelcome derailments offer blessings in disguise.

1 Nephi 4

Vs1. Very faithful - especially after being chased out already!
Vs2. EXPECT Miracles! N proves that they will happen!
Vs5. Wonder if N just didn't want to have to deal with them freaking out within the city, so he decided to take care of it himself.
Vs6. Have enough faith of your own to do that too?
Vs9. Why would he draw his sword out in the first place?
Vs10. Freak out time!
Vs13. No, the Lord doesn't always seem to keep his own "rules" - but he's perfect! To an earhtly mind this can be quite confusing! It's wrong to kill - but even worse, if you don't kill, then... Choices between the lesser of 2 evils. It's a rough thing to have to be obedient to the Lord at times! He Really does test us hard!
Vs14. See? He needed a strong "answer" in order for him to be strong enough to be able to follow through on the harder tests!
Vs15. Smart boy. Putting 2+2 together....
Vs19. Wonder if he knew why he was doing it at this time...
Vs22. Laban did have the priesthood...
Vs24. He wasn't really lieing, right? How many prophets have done that? Hmm...Abram?
Vs31. Give credit to the Lord for his strength. Must've been pretty tired from all of the stress and the physical expenditure.
Vs32. I betcha N was really hoping he wouldn't have to follow through on his threat.
Vs37. Sigh. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to rely on an honor system like that?
