Righteous Enough to Count

Before Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, God promised that He would spare Sodom if enough righteous people could be found in it. He has made us a similar promise. At several points early in the Book of Mormon, Nephi and Lehi were told and told others that this land that we now call America is a land of promise, and that the righteous will prosper here, while the unrighteous will be cast off. He has even warned the previous and current inhabitants that if they weren't or aren't righteous, He would send other people to take possession of the land, and those warnings have been realized at least three times, by my count, and it could happen a fourth time, if we're not careful. In the past, I have wondered if we are righteous enough to count toward the number of righteous people we need to ensure that our land will be safe. I'm not sure I am. Since we haven't been destroyed yet, I think we can assume that we're alright for now, but still, we can't be too careful or too righteous. I don't have any grand insights here, just something to think about and a reason to try to make sure that we're righteous enough to count.
