Journal Entry:

I saw my Dermatologist, Dr. West, for a routine exam and he couldn't find anything that seemed noteworthy which was good news.

Cathy was feeling poorly and wanted to just stay at home and rest so I went on a four mile walk up by Bridal Veil Falls. Then I tried to do a few things around the house and catch up some on my Come Follow Me reading.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 82:3 For of him unto whom much is given much is required; and he who sins against the greater light shall receive the greater condemnation.

"Some ask, “Do I have to be so different from others?” “Can’t I be a disciple of Christ without thinking so much about my behavior?” “Can’t I love Christ without keeping the law of chastity?” “Can’t I love Him and do what I want on Sunday?” Jesus gave a simple answer: “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”  

Some ask, “Aren’t there many of other faiths who love Christ?” Of course there are! However, as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, having a witness of His reality not only from the Bible but also from the Book of Mormon; knowing His priesthood has been restored to the earth; having made sacred covenants to follow Him and received the gift of the Holy Ghost; having been endowed with power in His holy temple; and being part of preparing for His glorious return to the earth, we cannot compare what we are to be with those who have not yet received these truths. “Unto whom much is given much is required.”

Elder Neil L. Anderson, Apostle
