The Appointed Hour
The night was lit by the full moon
Which cast the temple's shadow where
It added to the cloak of gloom
As the group walked away off there
Descending the city, weary
They crossed by a little brook
And soon passed the cemetery
On a path they often took
The grass was tall. It soaked each hem
In the garden where trees were budding
As they walked the wind howled, driven
Adding to the sense of foreboding
Christ's clothes grew heavy as did His heart
It became laborious to step
From the disciples, He turned to part
The appointed hour must be kept...
How many times had He been present
When the olives, here, were pressed?
History lay poised for this event
His deepest thoughts, He expressed
"My soul is very sorrowful."
This He compared even to death
The bitter cup was ever full
With a seemingly endless depth
Peter, James and John, He asked to watch keep
As a ways off the Lord went to pray alone
His friends proved weak and soon fell asleep
Indeed, this night, Christ was utterly on His own
for the appointed hour...
2 (8) April. (Iyyar, barley harvest). This was called the month of flowers, and it was the greenest and considered the most beautiful of all the months. Many times during this month the dry desert winds would blow in for three days at a time, melting the snow, and quickening the vegetation. During this month the harvesting begins in the Jordan valley and on the coastal plain. The fruit trees are in blossom and show their young foliage. The peach, pomegranate, olive, and many more.

He took upon Him every sin
He redeemed us from the fall.
And came to know us from within.

Civility is the First to Go!
Civility is the first to go
When man let's his heart harden cold.
Depravity then begins to show
As retaliations grow more bold.
Then, instead of chivalry
Rape and murder become the norm;
As tokens of bravery,
Where brute strength takes hold to perform.
You read the new these days and The Book of Mormon doesn't seem so foreign and archaic!
Thoughts from Moroni
Chapter 9
Both the Nephites and the Lamanites are depraved and degenerate—They torture and murder each other—Mormon prays that grace and goodness may rest upon Moroni forever. About A.D. 401.
3 And now behold, my son, I fear lest the Lamanites shall destroy this people; for they do not repent, and Satan stirreth them up continually to anger one with another.
4 Behold, I am laboring with them continually; and when I speak the word of God with sharpness they tremble and anger against me; and when I use no sharpness theyharden their hearts against it; wherefore, I fear lest the Spirit of the Lord hath ceased striving with them.
5 For so exceedingly do they anger that it seemeth me that they have no fear of death; and they have lost their love, one towards another; and they thirst after blood and revenge continually.
6 And now, my beloved son, notwithstanding their hardness, let us labor diligently; for if we should cease tolabor, we should be brought under condemnation; for we have a labor to perform whilst in this tabernacle of clay, that we may conquer the enemy of all righteousness, and rest our souls in the kingdom of God.
7 And now I write somewhat concerning the sufferings of this people. For according to the knowledge which I have received from Amoron, behold, the Lamanites have many prisoners, which they took from the tower of Sherrizah; and there were men, women, and children.
8 And the husbands and fathers of those women and children they have slain; and they feed the women upon the flesh of their husbands, and the children upon the flesh of their fathers; and no water, save a little, do they give unto them.
9 And notwithstanding this great abomination of the Lamanites, it doth not exceed that of our people in Moriantum. For behold, many of the daughters of the Lamanites have they taken prisoners; and after depriving them of that which was most dear and precious above all things, which is chastity and virtue—
10 And after they had done this thing, they did murder them in a most cruel manner, torturing their bodies even unto death; and after they have done this, they devour their flesh like unto wild beasts, because of the hardness of their hearts; and they do it for a token of bravery.
brute: a savagely violent person or animal.
chivalry: the sum of the ideal qualifications of a knight, including courtesy, generosity, valor, and dexterity in arms.

Love is Meant to Be
Love is meant to be
Forever and ever
When we die we'll see
Families sealed together
Consider the Virtues of White
The virtues of white
Fill my world with light
All because of Christ
Offering new life
The first is aglow
With purity to know
In the dimmest light
It shines brilliant white
The next has a sheen
Like a pearl, it's seen
It holds honor's worth
Midst trials- the worst
One, lighter than air
Dances everywhere
When sunlight comes in
Hope is found again!
One, soft and mellow
Hints of a yellow
Its virtue is seen
Warm and embracing
One, crisp and clean and pure
Holds strength to endure
It promises insight
From wisdom straight and bright
One hints of silver
Veiled like a whisper
With love's gentleness
Faith grows to fullness
One, like butter's cream
Stirs a heart to dream
To lift and entreat
With goodness that's sweet
One, is like a flame
Upwards it does aim
Brilliant, white, and hot
It warns you on the spot
One, seems to flicker
When shadows enter
Here white holds out strong
And brightens what is wrong
Last, surrounding the room like chalk
Rubbing off as here you walk
It becomes a part of you
Reminding that you came through

The Cup of the Wrath of God
The bitter cup of the wrath of God
Is the endless drink of damnation
Where every ounce of remorse is gone
Due to rebellious abomination
Mosiah 3:25-26
25 And if they be evil they are consigned to an awful view of their own guilt and abominations, which doth cause them to shrink from the presence of the Lord into a state of misery and endless torment, from whence they can no more return; therefore they have drunk damnation to their own souls.
26 Therefore, they have drunk out of the cup of the wrath of God, which justice could no more deny unto them than it could deny that Adam should fall because of his partaking of the forbidden fruit; therefore, mercy could have claim on them no more forever.
27 And their torment is as a lake of fire and brimstone, whose flames are unquenchable, and whose smoke ascendeth up forever and ever. Thus hath the Lord commanded me. Amen.
Proverbs 6:16-19
There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.
Proverbs 17:15
He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the Lord.
Galatians 5:19-21
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

All of It
With every temptation/sedition explored
(Till our Lord was filled as a vessel) it poured
From the crazed to the sinful He suffered for
The dregs of the earth pressed upon the Lord
With every murder, abuse, and victimization
Evil sneering, writhing forces found their way in
The vessel was dark with spiritual deprivation
As on this night suffering was dealt Him by Satan
