Today we will attend the temple at noon for Initiatories and 1 p.m. Endowment session. 

I really enjoyed listening this morning to Elder Renlund's April 2021 talk about "Infuriating Unfairness". I highly recommend it. 

Come Follow Me 

Revelation 21: 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

"From modern revelation, unique to the restored gospel, we know that the commandment to seek perfection is part of God the Father’s plan for the salvation of His children. Under that plan we are all heirs of our heavenly parents. “We are the children of God,” the Apostle Paul taught, “and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ”. This means, as we are told in the New Testament, that we are “heirs … of eternal life” and that if we come to the Father, we are to “inherit all things”—all that He has—a concept our mortal minds can hardly grasp. But at least we can understand that achieving this ultimate destiny in eternity is possible only if we follow our Savior, Jesus Christ, who taught that “no man cometh unto the Father, but by me”. We seek to follow Him and become more like Him, here and hereafter."

Elder Dallin H. Oaks, April 2013

Revelation 20:12

 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
