[Rodney Smith Jr @iamrodneysmith]

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.

More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸

For nearly 200 years, critics have claimed Joseph Smith “wrote” the Book of Mormon.

Okay.

Then prove it.

Not with assumptions. Not with ridicule. Not with recycled anti-LDS theories that collapse every few decades.

Actually prove HOW he did it.

Show the drafts. Show the outline. Show the research notes. Show the source manuscript. Show the co-authors. Show the revision process.

Because what we DO know is this:

A 23-year-old frontier farm boy dictated ~500 pages in roughly 60 working days with: • no formal education • no manuscript in front of him • no rewrites • no library surrounding him • no modern editing tools

And somehow produced: • complex narrative arcs • hundreds of interconnected names • intricate Hebraic literary structures like chiasmus • ancient Near Eastern themes • internally consistent geography, politics, theology, and chronology

Critics have proposed dozens of theories: • Spaulding theory • plagiarism theory • conspiracy theory • “he was a genius” theory

And when those fail, some even claim: “The devil did it.”

But that creates an even bigger problem.

The Book of Mormon testifies of Jesus Christ constantly. In fact, the name “Jesus Christ” appears more frequently in the Book of Mormon than in the Bible when adjusted for length. Its entire stated purpose is to bring people unto Christ, teach repentance, condemn sin, strengthen faith in the Savior, and testify that Jesus is the Son of God and Redeemer of the world.

So the argument becomes:

Satan inspired a book whose entire purpose is to convince people to follow Jesus Christ?

That completely contradicts scripture itself:

“Satan divideth against himself and against none else.” (3 Nephi 18:20)

The Book of Mormon leads millions to: • pray more • repent more • worship Christ more • read scripture more • strengthen families • abandon addictions • serve others • seek holiness

That is the exact opposite of the fruits Christ warned us about when describing false spirits.

Critics have spent nearly 200 years attacking Joseph Smith, yet they still cannot explain where the Book of Mormon actually came from.

At some point, dismissing Joseph Smith requires more faith than listening to him.

Because if he didn’t translate it…

Where exactly did the Book of Mormon come from?

One thing critics rarely acknowledge:

The Book of Mormon is not just “about Jesus Christ.”

It is saturated with Him.

Jesus Christ is referenced 3,925 times in the Book of Mormon — roughly once every 1.7 verses.

And that matters because some critics literally claim: “The devil inspired the Book of Mormon.”

Think about that for a second.

The same book that: • teaches faith in Jesus Christ • teaches repentance • condemns sin • calls people to baptism • strengthens families • teaches charity • testifies of Christ’s atonement • invites people to pray • repeatedly declares Jesus is the Son of God

…is supposedly satanic?

That argument collapses under its own weight.

Critics still cannot explain how Joseph Smith produced the Book of Mormon naturally: • no drafts • no outline • no manuscript • no formal education • dictated in roughly 60 working days • deeply Hebraic literary patterns • internally consistent narrative structure

So when natural explanations fail, some jump to: “Well maybe Satan did it.”

But Christ Himself taught: “A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand.”

Why would Satan inspire a book whose entire purpose is bringing people TO Jesus Christ?

At some point, critics have to do more than mock Joseph Smith.

They need to explain the Book of Mormon itself.

I remember watching Alex Smith & Utah absolutely dominate Pitt in the Fiesta Bowl.

2004 was a wild season when the Playoff should’ve existed. Five teams entered Bowl Season undefeated: USC, Oklahoma, Auburn, Utah and Boise State.

Three of them (USC, Auburn, Utah) finished the season undefeated. Still wild to think that an undefeated SEC team didn’t even get into the national championship game.

How times have changed…
