Jacob denounces the love of riches, pride, and unchastity - Men may seek riches to help their fellowmen - The Lord commands that no man among the Nephites may have more than one wife - The Lord delights in the chastity of women. About 544-421 B.C.
How is the love of money the root of all evil?
Alma 38-40
38 Shiblon was persecuted for righteousness' sake - Salvation is in Christ, who is the life and the light of the world - Bridle all your passions. About 74 B.C.
39 The commandments of Alma to his son Corianton. - Sexual sin is an abomination - Corianton's sins kept the Zoramites from receiving the word - Christ's redemption is retroactive in saving the faithful who preceded it.
40 Christ brings to pass the resurrection of all men - The righteous dead go to paradise and the wicked to outer darkness to await the day of their resurrection - All things will be restored to their proper and perfect frame in the Resurrection.
DC 43:13-23

"All of us hope that more young men will have experiences like Wilford Woodruff, who as an Aaronic Priesthood holder taught the gospel of Jesus Christ with converting power. I pray that we will rise to our call to lift others to prepare them for their glorious service."
James and I went to the 7:45 session at the Gilbert temple this morning. I went through for Merinda Davis. We took a selfie but it wasn't good, so here is a picture of the temple instead.
After the temple we made a Costco run for bread, walnuts, and chocolate chips. We also stopped for lunch. We a hotdogs and drinks for $3.00 total.
Deseret Book is next door so I ran in and got scriptures and journals for Jace and Jerom who are getting baptized this afternoon.
We went back to Cathi's and packed up. We said goodbye to Cathi but Terry was gone shopping. James had to meet the painter out at the Queen Creek job, something about a key. Finally we are on our way home.
Pine trees here we come!
We passed up Burger House and then waited in line at McDonald's for 10 minutes for an ice cream. We finished our book, "The Seven Tipping Points that Changed the World" before Salt River.
These tree look beautiful lining the street in downtown Show Low.

When we got home we unloaded the car and put things away and then it was time to get ready for Jace and Jerom's baptisms.
