Note: Another point to consider is that Joseph Smith Jr. had found the right or correct place because the religious and the irreligious hated and persecuted him. He alienated both extremes and was eventually killed by them.
"Mormonism was undeniably the most original and persecuted religion of this period or any period of American history. It defined as no other religion did both the orthodox culture and evangelical counter-culture. Ye at the same time it drew heavily on both these cultures. It combined within itself different tendencies of thought. From the outset it was a religion in tension, poised like a steel spring by the contradictory forces pulling within it." Gordon S. Wood, Evangelical America and Early Mormonism, New York History 61
Debbie was up early and got breakfast for the grandchildren. I got up and had my personal prayer. Debbie took Mckay and Andrew to school. I studied scriptures and later we had prayer together. Debbie went back to bed to sleep so she does not get rundown and sick. I have been coughing up the inflammation or mucosa from my chest and throat. I sent Jared at Metal Arts Foundry, 790 West State Road, Lehi, Utah 84043 last night and called 801-768-4442, and talked to him bout a 10" X 8" plaque with the information I sent in an email with one bolt in the center on the back that the entire plaque can be bonded to the granite. I called and talked to Bobby Husley in Georgia about a granite monument to put inside the stone wall fence at the Pleasant Hill Church cemetery. Bobby has lost 185 pounds and is now down to about 245 pounds. He did weigh over 430 pounds. The bronze plaque will cost around $1,200. I do not know yet what the granite monument will cost. Later we ate lunch and Debbie picked Mckay and Andrew up from school. We watched a World Series Little League Baseball game Texas vs. Kentucky based on a true story of one of the coaches and the dad of one of the boys. The dad who had brain cancer. I read and Debbie made buttermilk pancakes for dinner. I called and talked to Max Kimball and thanked him and Debbie, his wife, for the reading light I can wear at night around my neck and not keep Debbie up. I could not reach Charlie Hibbert and his wife Shirley in Rome. I left them a message on their answering phone. I called and talked to Jennifer Youngblood and checked on her and Dave who is in an assisted living center. Max told me Earlton's oldest son, Rick Youngblood, has been called as an area authority over the Southeast. One of his first assignments was in Atlanta. Spencer Kimball, Stake President in Destin, FL was there. Elder Youngblood took a picture of him and Spencer and sent it to Debbie and Max. Debbie and I had prayer with the children when everyone got home. Abby was the last one to get in from her basketball game in Orem. Debbie and I had prayer together after all the children got to bed.
Nathan A. Craig, former Stake President, has been called as a new Area Seventy in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Elder Craig is the first Area Seventy called who was born, raised, and currently lives in the state of Kentucky. He is Area Seventy in the North American Southeast area.
Spencer W. Kimball, Stake President of Destin-Ft. Walton Beach Stake. President Kimball is the son of Max and Debbie Kimball in Cedartown, Georgia.
Richard G. Youngblood of Signal Mountain has been called as an Area Seventy for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Elder Youngblood is the son of Earlton B. and Sandy Youngblood. Earlton was our bishop in Rome, Georgia.
