Read Alma 51-54
Mark & Ponder 37:6
Scripture of the day: "And the Lord called his people ZION, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them." (Moses 7:18)
Thought for the day: "there is no real happiness in having or getting, but only in giving." (N Eldon Tanner)
Wahoo - half way there! Alma 53:9 "And thus because of iniquity amongst themselves, yea, because of dissensions and intrigue among themselves they were placed in the most dangerous circumstances." I think we are setting ourselves up for this disaster as well. The contention between the right and left is becoming stronger and stronger by the day. My personal conspiracy theory is that Obama and his people are trying to get the American people to start something so they can fight back and relinquish more of our freedom, but regardless...the more contention we have at home among our own people the easier it will be for terrorists to attack us.
My other thought for the day is about offenses that took place hundreds of years ago. Why are the Lamanites still fighting the Nephites for wrongs they perceive happened 600 years ago???? Why do they feel like they were the ones who were wronged? Why do some African American people today feel like they were the ones who were slaves, that they were the ones wronged and that we, the ancestors of the people who had slaves but had nothing to do with slavery ourselves, owe them something? It makes absolutely no sense to me. Satan is a master of our carnal nature. He knows where every single button is and how to push it. That's the only explanation as far as I can see.
