Thank goodness for Brigham Young

I found out something yesterday that really made me appreciate Brigham Young. The story goes that when Joseph Smith died Sidney Rigdon made a big push to replace him. He wanted to move everybody to Pittsburgh. Eventually Brigham Young won out and he had a much more sensible plan. Just think we all could have ended up in Pittsburgh. How bad would that have been? It makes me shudder just to think about it. Rigdon ended up being excommunicated the idea was so bad.
