Jeff asked me recently how I would describe Nauvoo in one sentence. I told him I would have to think about that answer for a while. Here it is:
Nauvoo is a beautiful, dedicated, good, happy, heart penetrating, holy, hopeful, lifting, loving, mind expanding, peaceful, pure, remembered, restored, reverent, sacred, simple, sublime, strong, valiant, willing, Zion centered place.
It is easier to take the long view from here. The cares and crush of the world have all pounded on this place and some were certain that the Mormons were gone for good. They were short-sighted and underestimated the power of Truth to prevail.
