(December 10, 2009)
This begins the darkest portion of the Book of Mormon. It is almost tangibly dark to read, and the destruction and death leap off the page. As I read, I couldn’t help but see the escalation of violence and hatred. I was comforted, however, by Mormon’s talk of the strength of the Lord. Despite my numerous failings, there is a strength that I am aware of that comes independent of my actions. I can tell when it is there to a greater or lesser degree. The fact that it is in my life now reassures me that I haven’t been cast off for my many failings.
