9/11

How soon we have forgotten what happened just a few short years ago. How soon have we, as the scriptures say, turned like a dog to his vomit. How soon have we forgotten the Lord, Our God. How soon do we forget His Hand in our lives. How soon have we ignored those who risk their life to serve and protect others, i.e., us. How soon do we start fighting and bickering. How much longer will God allow us to be dumb? How soon have we forgotten. I was always amazed about the Nephites in the Book of Mormon and how soon they could forget all that they went through as the scriptures say, "in a few short years" and yet here we are. I can suddenly understand (well it wasn't sudden and I have been realizing this for a while) how it is possible for a people to be chastised by the Lord, repent, remember His Hand, be righteous for a couple of years and then turn again. We are living this right now. We know the time is short. It is imperative we study and learn from the Book of Mormon shortly before Christ's visit to the America's. It is not so well annotated but equally significant as to what happened shortly before His, Christ's, birth. The righteous were imprisoned and to be put to death on a certain day if the signs didn't occur. This signs happened and the righteous were spared but soon most forgot about the signs and wonders. That is exactly where we are: Forgetting signs and wonders. Do we pay attention? How soon before something else happens? Will we be ready? Will we be watching? 9/11 is a great reminder. How soon?...
