"Simple Reminders"



Mosiah 13:12 And now, ye remember that I said unto you: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of things which are in heaven above, or which are in the earth beneath, or which are in the water under the earth.

 13 And again: Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquities of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generations of them that hate me;

 14 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

 15 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

 16 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

 17 Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work;

 18 But the seventh day, the Sabbath of the Lord thy God, thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates;

 19 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is; wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.

 20 Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

 21 Thou shalt not kill.

 22 Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal.

 23 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

 24 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor’s.

 

 

“Simple Reminders”

Over time and space

combinations seeking

for us to forget wisdom

to ignore the Prophet’s

enlightening on fools

slandering all truths

while yet so very basic

simple reminders

happiness/obedience

with no other way

yet as John R. Tunis

proclaiming years ago

sports the new religion

media/tv/movies too

stars worshiped today

matters not morality

from potus on down

decaying virtue all

forgetting the basics

simple reminders

Commands of God!
