Thanks for putting your notes up. They helped me organize my thoughts as I was preparing my Elders’ Quorum lesson for this afternoon. In particular, I appreciated your thoughts on the “proper manner” to seek revelation through prayer, and how the scriptures provide the template for us.

This is a really interesting perspective. I was particularly interested in the perception you mentioned vis a vis the Nauvoo period and what preceded it and how it is all of the same piece. A quick look at the Chronological Order Of Contents of the Doctrine in Covenants reveals that only 4 sections of the D & C were given at Nauvoo. The vast majority of revelations contained in the book were received at Kirtland and other places in Ohio. Beginning in February of 1831 until July of 1837 all but seven of the sections were revealed in Ohio.

After the Missouri persecutions Joseph’s enemies never gave him any peace. His time was taken up with many things that had not been issues in Ohio.

Discovering the pattern, now wouldn’t it be nice if that were a little more easy.
