Journal Entry 

We are trying to get our "Will and Trust" situation sorted out and finalized so that when we pass along, our property and assets will be easily and properly divided between Jake and Kevin. There will be a few dollars that should be beneficial to them and we want the transition to be as smooth as possible. We are dealing with an attorney named John Buckley who was recommended by Craig and who is also the one who has helped Beth in her situation. We filled out a legal questionnaire and will try to get it to him today in order to get the ball rolling. One of my LAPD associations - LAPRA I think - will give us a $600 reimbursement to help cover the cost so that will be useful.

D&C 93:36 The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth.

37 Light and truth forsake that evil one.

"First, God is the source of eternal truth. He and His Son, Jesus Christ, have a perfect understanding of truth and always act in harmony with true principles and laws. This power allows Them to create and govern worlds as well as to love, guide, and nurture each one of us perfectly. They want us to understand and apply truth so we can enjoy the blessings They do. They may impart truth in person or, more typically, through messengers such as the Holy Ghost, angels, or living prophets."

John C. Pingree Jr, of The Seventy

"We know the Apostasy occurred in part because the philosophies of men were elevated over Christ’s basic, essential doctrine. Instead of the simplicity of the Savior’s message being taught, many plain and precious truths were changed or lost. In fact, Christianity adopted some Greek philosophical traditions to reconcile people’s beliefs with their existing culture. The historian Will Durant wrote: “Christianity did not destroy paganism; it adopted it. The Greek mind, dying, came to a transmigrated life.” Historically, and in our own day, some people reject the gospel of Jesus Christ because, in their view, it doesn’t have adequate intellectual sophistication."

Elder Quentin L. Cook, Apostle
