One of my favorites

One of my favorite parts of the Book of Mormon is when the people are waiting for the signs that Christ has been born. While some waited near His home, people across the ocean were also waiting for those signs and believed in a Messiah that would be born. Finally there were the clear signs that came, but it was interesting what a short time it took for wickedness to abound again. Such cycles are shown repeatedly in the Book of Mormon. If one society is righteous, it is no guarantee that they will always be so. People become complacent and forget that they are prosperous because they are blessed by the Lord. Then they become prideful.
