Book of Mormon Logic Applied To Utah Governor Spencer Cox: PRIDE Month (+The Other Six Deadly Sins)...and "Pray For Rain"

All is not well in The New Zion
1 From the Vision of John The Revelator: In his vision, John the Revelator saw “four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree” (Revelation 7:1). These are God’s angels . . .
This past year, Mother Nature has not been very kind to the State of Utah. 
  • Earthquakes, 
  • Fires, 
  • Devastating Wind Storms
  • and now Water Drought 
Coincidences or Consequences?

It makes you wonder why all four elements of Earth, Fire, Air and Water have combined together to wreck havoc on the state of Utah.

Two days ago, our LDS Governor of Utah, Spencer Cox declared an official declaration calling for the whole month of June to be PRIDE month. The official declaration signed below ends by saying:

Now Therefore, I , Spencer J. Cox, governor of the great state of Utah, do hereby declare June 2021 as LGBTQ+ Pride Month in Utah. 

PRIDE MONTH?  Usually we set aside just one day to observe something important. Do we really need an entire month!  It might be good to remember that Pride in most Christian societies is considered a deadly sin. In fact is it one of the seven deadly sins and often is listed first.  According to the standard list, they are Pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth which are contrary to the seven heavenly virtues. 
So why we are at it,  maybe next month could be GREED month?
or how about LUST month?
or even ENVY month? 
In Ezra Taft Benson's conference address, Beware of Pride, he says: 
"The Doctrine and Covenants tells us that the Book of Mormon is the “record of a fallen people.” (D&C 20:9.) Why did they fall?  
This is one of the major messages of the Book of Mormon.  
Mormon gives the answer in the closing chapters of the book in these words: “Behold, the pride of this nation, or the people of the Nephites, hath proven their destruction.” (Moro. 8:27.) And then, lest we miss that momentous Book of Mormon message from that fallen people, the Lord warns us in the Doctrine and Covenants, “Beware of pride, lest ye become as the Nephites of old.” (D&C 38:39.)"
So what I find so interesting is that after declaring this entire month to embrace Pride, Governor Cox is asking all of us to. get this, to pray to God for some divine intervention.
Surely to Lord will bless us to escape this drought as we proactively celebrate our PRIDE. 
Yes, Heaven help us. "
