My CMS The View from a New City

Yesterday I was discouraged, partly from the general effects of getting older, but partly from scrolling through the internet and seeing how “sinners ways prosper.” Then last night, my wife and I read the 121st Section of the Doctrine and Covenants, which among other amazing revelations, lists how the Lord will handle the unrepentant sinners. One element of faith is to realize that punishing sinners is not my job. I realized once again something I learned though my years practicing law; that educating jerks (teaching them that they are jerks) is a waste of time and resources.

In the middle of the night I asked AI whether the people of Missouri suffered in the civil war and got in response a very long narration of this answer: “Yes, the people of Missouri suffered intensely and in a variety of ways during the Civil War.”
