Episode notes

The dictionary.com definition of meek is a spiritless tame, overly compliant, submissive. That does not sound like Captain Moroni that if all men would be likened to Moroni, the very powers of hell would be shakenVery interesting word for those who mourn shall be comforted in this psalm. And it's interesting that the two people in the New Testament that are called a comforter are the Holy Ghost in John 1426 and then Christ in one John 2:1-2. I think we can see the comfort and peace and having the Holy Ghost relying on Christ as our comforter.
