Journal Entry 

I went to see the vascular surgeon who was recommended to me. He did tests and found nothing at all to be worrisome. It was good news and we scheduled another checkup in a year. We have nothing planned today. I'm still recovering from my recent surgical procedures and hope to do nothing that will slow that recovery process.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 107:30 The decisions of these quorums, or either of them, are to be made in all righteousness, in holiness, and lowliness of heart, meekness and long-suffering, and in faith, and virtue, and knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness and charity;

"The decisions of the leaders...should follow the pattern of the presiding quorums. “The decisions of these quorums … are to be made in all righteousness, in holiness, and lowliness of heart, meekness and long suffering, and in faith, and virtue, and knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness and charity.”

...The Savior gave us this solemn warning: “Be one; and if ye are not one ye are not mine.” The Lord made it clear that in the presiding quorums every decision “must be by the unanimous voice of the same...” This means that after frank and open discussion decisions are reached in council under the direction of the presiding officer, who has the ultimate authority to decide. That decision is then sustained, because our unity comes from full agreement with righteous principles and general response to the operation of the Spirit of God.

Free discussion and expression are encouraged in the Church."

Elder James E. Faust, Apostle
