Decide what you want to be....Pay the Price ...And be what you want to be.

Man must learn to know the universe precisely as it is, or he cannot successfully find his place in it. A man should therefore use his reasoning faculty in all matters involving truth, and especially as concerning his religion. He must learn to distinguish between truth and error.

~ John A. Widtsoe

The better men know the Lord, the better may the eternal truths we learn be applied in our daily lives.
