Doctrine and Covenants 130:18-19 -- On Intelligence

"Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection.
And if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come."
Doctrine and Covenants 130:18-19


This is interesting scripture.  It seems that we're still going to have some things to learn after this life, and so if we work harder in this life, we might be able to take the 201 class instead of the 101 or the remedial 99 class. :)  I love the idea of there being more to learn and more to do, not just sitting around playing harps (no offense to you harpists out there).

Today, let's remember what we *can* take with us.  Not money or fame, but knowledge.  Intelligence.  And let's work on that part rather than the things that we need to leave behind. :)
