Where Is Our Captain
In 2 Nephi 26:33 it says, "... and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile."
In the 2017 October General Conference of the LDS Church Elder Quinton L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said, "Anyone who claims superiority under the Father’s plan because of characteristics like race, sex, nationality, language, or economic circumstances is morally wrong and does not understand the Lord’s true purpose for all of our Father’s children."
I contrast this with recent statements regarding Haiti from that boss baby who so recently purchased the US presidency. Oh where is our captain? Where is the leader who gives confidence and faith? Where is a one worthy to be called a man, worthy to guide our nation? I see him not. We are left in the hands of another. A child, an ignorant one who joys in hate, revels in destruction, who seeks to tear down that which would stand.
My soul cries bitterly with anger and I want to hate, to defame, somehow tare down the pretending tyrant. But anger, hate, and fear are his weapons, not mine. David did not fight the giant with a a sword and with armor. Instead, he fought with what he knew best. I have known ugliness and pain in my life, but I turned my back to it. I do not seek it out. I will not seek it out now. Instead I chose joy, light, life, hope, faith, beauty, those things that mike life worth it.
Oh would be boy king, keep your ugliness and hate and let it consume you. You make all that are near you like yourself, for that is a power that old serpent has given you, and the very ones close to you will be your destruction. Or by no small miracle, change. Repent. let go of your awful foul self and be reborn. Be good. You can, because anyone can if they choose to. I pray with all my heart that you might chose to be the captain you could be and that we the American people deserve. It seems so unlikely that such a thing would occur, but I will pray for it anyway, because I chose life.
