Today's Favorite Verse: Helaman 7:4-5
"And seeing the people in a state of such awful wickedness, and those Gadianton robbers filling the judgment-seats—having usurped the power and authority of the land; laying aside the commandments of God, and not in the least aright before him; doing no justice unto the children of men;
Condemning the righteous because of their righteousness; letting the guilty and the wicked go unpunished because of their money; and moreover to be held in office at the head of government, to rule and do according to their wills, that they might get gain and glory of the world, and, moreover, that they might the more easily commit adultery, and steal, and kill, and do according to their own wills—"

I was reflecting today on how the wicked will go unpunished. They will never see the inside of a jail. Their other charges will not see the light of day inside of a court room. The charges will vanish. We are living what Mormon saw and is writing about to warn us in our day. All men are equal and no one is above the law. When we support this, we will pay the consequences.

"As nations can not be rewarded or punished in the next world they must be in this. By an inevitable chain of causes & effects providence punishes national sins, by national calamities." (George Mason, Speech at the Constitutional Convention, as recorded by James Madison in his "Notes of the Constitutional Convention" (August 22, 1787)
