Journal Entry 

Cathy and I walked up in Vivian Park yesterday. She was able to see Dr. Welch for her annual wellness visit and I will see him today for the same thing. I also had a follow up with Dr. Phillips for my foot and things seem to be progressing there. We seem to be well known and appreciated by our local medics.

 Thank heaven for my outstanding insurance coverage. Back a few years ago the City of Los Angeles gave their police officers lifetime medical instead of a raise. We took it and have appreciated it ever since. One year they tried to back out and our union, the LA Police Protective League, sued them and won. So now we have the same medical coverage we had when we were on the job and working and what a blessing that's been. When I had my open heart surgery a few years ago in Louisville we never saw a bill and the same situation here last month when I was hospitalized for four days with my severe foot infection we never received a bill.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 109:7 And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom, seek learning even by study and also by faith;

"[Y]ou have a duty to learn as much as you can…If formal education is not available, do not allow that to prevent you from acquiring all the knowledge you can. Under such circumstances, the best books, in a sense, can become your “university”—a classroom that is always open and admits all who apply. Strive to increase your knowledge of all that is “virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy.” Seek knowledge “by study and also by faith.” Seek with a humble spirit and contrite heart. As you apply the spiritual dimension of faith to your study—even of temporal things—you can amplify your intellectual capacity, for “if your eye be single to [God’s] glory, your whole [body] shall be filled with light, and … [comprehend] all things.”

Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Apostle
