Quote for the day:I will have a list of some I found in a future quote.
Hugh Nibley: “The Book of Mormon goes to great lengths to describe just what a wicked society looks like and how it operates, with enough examples to type it beyond question; and with clinical precision it describes the hysteria that leads to its end. It also tells us how to recognize a righteous society, usually presenting the two types to us in close proximity. With these two images firmly in mind we are told why this presentation is being given, for whose benefit, and why it is so singularly important. The authors do not ask us to make comparisons and see ourselves in the picture, because that would be futile: the wicked-er the people are, the more they balk at facing their real image and the more skillful they become in evading, altering, faking, and justifying. So the book does not tell us to make the comparison—it does it for us, frankly and brutally.” (The Prophetic Book of Mormon, p. 508))

Week's half over!
I'm tired but today was a good day. It was the first day in two weeks that we DIDN'T work on moving! I felt like I had a vacation! Of course, we will go back up river tomorrow and work on it again.
