"And it came to pass that Ethem did execute judgment in wickedness all his days; and he begat Moron. And it came to pass that Moron did reign in his stead; and Moron did that which was wicked before the Lord."
Ether 11:14
This is the "joke" verse with the punchline "Don't be a Moron," but it is also not a joke. Reading about whole civilizations destroyed here in the end of the Book of Mormon, it is a perfect time to step back and take a look at our own lives. God is willing to forgive, and bless, and help, and strengthen, and love... but we have to listen and follow his plan to help us not destroy ourselves. No matter what is collapsing in our own lives, God can help. Let's turn to him, and love him, and resist the wickedness and evil around us. Let's be the example on the hill that God asks us to be. Let's show love to others and be part of God's cure for to the ills of the earth.
