BYT - Jospeh Smith

My post this week is a simple testimony about the re-confirmation I recently received that Jospeh Smith is a true prophet of God. He had a very strong testimony and with that he wrote eloquently about his feelings.

"I am like a huge, rough stone rolling down from a high mountain; and the only polishing I get is when some corner gets rubbed off by coming in contact with something else, striking with accelerated force against religious bigotry, priest-craft, lawyer-craft, doctor-craft, lying editors, suborned judges and jurors, and the authority of perjured executives, backed by mobs, blasphemers, licentious and corrupt men and women—all hell knocking off a corner here and a corner there. Thus I will become a smooth and polished shaft in the quiver of the Almighty."
History of the Church, 5:401

That is such a great quote. Do you find yourself defending yourself to A LOT of inactive Mormons lately? I do. It's the "religious bigotry" that's really a thorn in my side. Thanks for that.
