I have a lot of different kinds of journals. I have a personal journal that I occasionally write the happening of my days. The audience is me and perhaps my posterity. So that they can see what i was like growing up.
Then I have my blog...mostly for me but also to share our life with family & friends. My audience is me and Robert (a fun way to share our day with him) and also our family/friends. The purpose...just to share our daily life and thoughts.
And then this scripture journal right now is for me to discover what the Lord whats me to learn through the scriptures. My own visual reference of my testimony. My audience is myself. Although I suppose it might be a good thing to share with my posterity in the future.
Nephi wrote with a specific audience in mind. His posterity and people and maybe even us. His purpose was not to entertain, it was to persuade men to follow God. Did he know how many people would be reading his words? How many lives he would lead to believing and following God & Jesus Christ? I doubt this journal will ever affect anyone in that gradious way...but if it helps me to become closer to Jesus Christ...it's purpose will be served.
