"And in the commencement of the sixty and seventh year the people began to grow exceedingly wicked again.
For behold, the Lord had blessed them so long with the riches of the world that they had not been stirred up to anger, to wars, nor to bloodshed; therefore they began to set their hearts upon their riches; yea, they began to seek to get gain that they might be lifted up one above another; therefore they began to commit secret murders, and to rob and to plunder, that they might get gain."
Helaman 6:16-17
It's weird how we start getting complacent unless something bad happens. ... It's almost like we are hungry for evil. If things are going well, we end up sitting on our posh butts, wondering how we can get into trouble. :) If we aren't worrying about our basic needs, then we start worrying about power and pride, and all those crazy things. Can't we be satisfied with something good? :) Today, let's be happy with what we've got, and try not to get into any extra trouble. :)
