Matthew 7:20
"When a enemy had told a scandalous story about him, which had often been done, before he rendered judgment, he paused and let his mind run back to the time and place and setting of the story to see if he had not by some unguarded word or act laid the block on which the story was build. If he found that he had done so, he said that in his heart he forgave his enemy, and felt thankful that he had received warning of a weakness that he had not know he possessed." Said about Joseph Smith by Hyrum L. and Helen Mae Andrus, Jesse W. Crosby, They Knew the Prophet, [1974], 144.
Now this is good advice. It goes right along with a quote my husband teaches his youth Sunday School class, first improve yourself today, and then your friends tomorrow.

Reading the scriptures and keeping this journal are my delight. I do not keep an online journal to preach to anyone but myself. I like this format, because I can add pictures and correct my writing easier. If you enjoy reading it, I am happy. If you feel offended, please, realize it is not my intention to offend but to teach myself. No negative comments will not be published.
