And it came to pass that when I, Mormon, saw their lamentation and their mourning and their sorrow before the Lord, my heart did begin to rejoice within me, knowing the mercies and the long-suffering of the Lord, therefore supposing that he would be merciful unto them that they would again become a righteous people. But behold this my joy was vain, for their sorrowing was not unto repentance, because of the goodness of God; but it was rather the sorrowing of the damned, because the Lord would not always suffer them to take happiness in sin. And they did not come unto Jesus with broken hearts and contrite spirits, but they did curse God, and wish to die. Nevertheless they would struggle with the sword for their lives. Mormon 2:12-14

...Not that I'm making any correlation. But aren't our times really bizarre? There's a general fear, a palpable tension in the air. Do you feel it? The whole world is in an uproar, the politics are a mess, leaders are smeared everyday by either the people or themselves, or both, the people we looked up to back in the day are turning out to be scum (priests, soldiers, police, family...), everybody has an answer but it always contradicts everybody elses'...The Flaming Lips of all people put out a political album...(I'm listening to Telepathic Surgery).

Thank goodness for faith, Temples, and truth.
