I enjoyed reading that so much.! It gives a lot more depth and meaning to the D&C! Loved you weirings!

I have recently been studying the beatitudes, and those came to mind as I read your post (even though it’s not D&C, sorry!) Christ tells us that those who show others mercy, will in turn receive mercy from Him. (Matthew 5:7). I totally relate to you and not wanting to be judged by the not-so-great-works of your life. We all have those, including the founders of our church. But, that does not make them untrustworthy or horrible; it makes them human. Joseph Smith was given SO much responsibility, and sometimes faltered under pressure. If I was in his shoes, I would have faltered too. Thank you for the invitation to learn from the mistakes made in history instead of focusing on them or ignoring them altogether! (:
