Alma 46

I have to remind myself that just a few years before, these people were righteous and happy. They were humble and kind, forgiving and giving enough to accept a repentant enemy (the people of Ammon.) In verse 8 it is noted how quickly men forget the Lord. Spiritual ADD.
I love the Title of Liberty!
Random weird thought-- I just watched a documentary tonight on the benefits of a plant-based diet, then I read verse 40:
And there were some who died with fevers, which at some seasons of the year were very frequent in the land—but not somuch so with fevers, because of the excellent qualities of the manyaplants and roots which God had prepared to remove the cause ofbdiseases, to which men were subject by the nature of the climate
Apparently the benefits of a plant-based diet isn't a new concept! And one that I should definitely look into. :)

I love the story of the Title of Liberty. It is a concrete reminder to me of the importance of supporting righteousness, not only in our family, but our community. How amazing it would be to have righteous, stalwart, upstanding politicians who could raise a Title of Liberty today. Someone who could actually be trusted!
ReplyDeleteAnd on your side note... the whole foods, plant based diet - not that I agree with all of it, there are certainly benefits! To me the plants and roots God has prepared for our healing is the very reason I am up to my eyeballs in schoolwork right now! Honestly, there is not much else we need if we look to the remedies God has already provided for us.
