As I finished reading Alma chapter 14 yesterday I was struck by what great cinema that account of Alma and Amulek would make. The nonbelievers burn the scriptures along with innocent women and children with Alma and Amulek as witnesses...Alma and Amulek are cast into prison...they suffer, and eventually break from the prison with the help of God's power. I could especially envision verses 24-26 - Alma and Amulek are in prison and the evil chief judge comes and says "If ye have the power of God deliver yourselves from these bands, and then we will believe that the Lord will destroy this people according to your words." Then he strikes them. One by one all the prison guards repeat the chief judge's words and strike them as well. The Lord then gives Alma and Amulek the strength to break their cords and free themselves from prison.
So I told Cody I would like to film this. He sighed, and with weariness in his voice said "another project?"
I don't know what he's talking about.
