Having spent some of the Christmas in Palmyra, New York I've decided to do write a bit about our time there and some thoughts a la Alexander Pope. Above is us in the Sacred Grove. I received feedback that my previous post was a bit wordy. Hopefully this is a bit shorter:
I served my mission in Upstate New York
I say Upstate 'cause it's not the City, dork
I met a lady said he was all 'bout girls and cash
It's sad to see when people believe trash
Prior the mission I never really been east
Called the Cradle, it has a spiritual feast
Here Joseph saw God and and His Son
It's either true or just a big con.
His Vision tells Father and Son are separate
Them as all one confusing to contemplate
Easier to think of Them like Abe and Isaac
Idea of Abe and Abe requires Provasic.
He learned They have bodies of bone and flesh
Else Jesus would not have ate honey and fish
After Ascension Jesus did not leave body on shore
But like Paul said, He "dieth no more."
Jo learned God speaks to man today
Why? Hugh B. queried it this way
Does God love us the same today as then?
Has He the power today as way back when?
Do we need Him as much today as then?
Yes! Yes! Yes! The world is such a lion's den.
Smith found that Christ's Church was no more
Thus rather than Reform, God was to Restore
Of course many loved God and tried their best
Yet for years man told God He was a jest.
So God called Joseph as a prophet
Was he really in it for the profit?
The best proof is the Book of Mormon
Read it, you'll find it not common
It gives peace to those who read
It testifies Jesus is the Christ in very deed
Pray to know and you'll feel the Spirit
Just like science, requires you try it.
