How long is forever? How long? As a child I used to think the ride from Texas to Utah was forever, yet now I feel it would only be a small jont....I used to think that the trip to the moon took several days but I think it woul have been different if I would have been an Astronaut...As I live and though it has only been 47 years I feel as though it has been an eternity...I think back at the places I have lived and say that was so long ago, yet....How long is eternity? Did Jesus ask this question? WHen he was hanging on the cross? Did he say to the Father Dad How Long is Eternity? How long is it until this portion of this eternity will end? When he was at the court and they judged him did he ask how long ie your eternity? How long is eternity, and why are we concerned with this small part of the eternity? Where does it end? I know that eternity is but a lifetime away and we have not a clue because we are so tied up in the problems of the world and our own selfishness...we have forgotten how long eternity is...Loose your self in the service of the lord and you will know that eternity is without bounds...time is has no relation to eternity...and our spirits will be forever.

Wickedness never is happiness...it is said through out the scriptures, and this is so true you can tell it is true because of the way the world is...The world works hard to not pay attention to the influx of the wickedness that is around all of us...I feel it every where, and it doesn't scare mut I have but I have a healthy respect for it...If we remember what we are here for we will get through this, but I feel we all really need to keep every thing incheck or the world is destin to fail....

You know there was ab old saying that stated if wishes were fishes we would all have a fry...it goes on but what I am looking at is this statement...If I thought I could wish my life perfect things would be great but would I appreciate it? I remember the lord served several thousand people with fishes and wine but if you remember he did this because he loved these people, Uow do we get to the point that we have a love that pure...I don't wish for something like that because I know if I were to wish something that it would have to be taken drom somewhere else...and some one else might suffer for my wish even though I beneifited from it....I would have sinned if I were to wish something like that because It would limit my ability to make the free choices that the Savior died for...so I will only be content with the life I have been given...

So how many if us spend time thinking, most of us do it but how maany of us let the advasary into our thoughts and let him bring in the dark thoughts that bring us to a depression? I know I have and it has brought me down to where I thought I could not go on... So I started to look back at my life to the times when I was the happiest..that was the times when I was active in the church doing what the lord wanted me to do serving my mission, when all four of my boys were born (Even thought I think that Intermounian Health care accounts payable is the root of most EVIL) but still I know that I could have never have gotten through any of this with out the lord and the gospel... I now read and engauge my self in study of the scriptures as well as getting into the classes that I am in at this time in school (College) yes even older guys think about that I missed out on that when I was young but I don't have an idle mind, and so I keep up a pacwe that gives me little time to think about the things that are dark...I know I can get through this but I also am aware that the advasary is just outside the door waiting for me to let my guard down...so I must keep it up.

I stood on the flight line this morning and heard and old friend fly over...I remember when it was new and strong, yet now it lookedd worn and tired...The last time I saw it the wings were black and sharp, yet now it had proven that it could perform what it needed to perform, and it is tired the lines of tape running down its wing shows the weather was not so good to it, the peide of the crew that accompanied it knowing this was the last flight made me feel empty... This was why I came here this weapon, this plane was the reason, even though it is only a creation of man and it will return to the ellements that it was created from, I know it has played a major role in my life...I will miss hearing the whine of the turbines, and the way it is purched in its hangar with the flag hanging triumphantly over the cockpit....It is the last flight and I will miss my friend...Rest well my friend till we meet again, hopefully not in a museum, but again in battle restored to your first grandure...(Sorry this plane meant alot to me and I will miss it)

So I see that there are people out there that have some of the same feelings I have, I know that there is things brought nto my life to protect me from the future  bad choices I have made... I have really made some bad choices..I can tell tha because of the things that my Patriarichal blessing told me...Out there are so many people wwho don't remember the good time of life I knowI remember my mission and the things which I learned there in Germany...When I got to the Airport in Frankfurt I thought we had landed at the wrong one...(You know there were Polizi every 25 feet with guns ) yet I knew that this was going to work out...The anguage they spoke was kind of German but not as understandable as the speech we had at the MTC...I learned though and I felt as though there was more for me in this mission and as I worked to spread the word I found that the language came to me and I spoke in a manner that the German people did not figure I was from the US...I felt the spirit and bore my testimony aned fought off the advasary... I know that I made a difference in the lives of many people...I love the lord and want to be who I need to be...there is many out there that need strenght and I have much strength (Not much money) but alot of strength...Be well

As I have comptemplated the events of the past months I know that I am alive, yet am I really living. As I get older I see those around me that are passing to the other side and I sometimes get jelous yet I sin in my jelousy because I have more work to do here, and they are not ready for me in the next life...I see the world going further and further into the pit, the gospel in growing yet the advisary still pushes the anti-gospel of worldlienss, we gauge people by what they have not who they are in their souls...I think the Nephites went through a bout of this and it caused many of them to loose their lives earthly as well as spiritually, I know that there is something on the other side and those who I was jelous of will be waiting to teach me further what I need to know, but now I want to learn as much about eternity as I can and prayerfully consider my choices because life is just an Augenblick in eternity and I can change so much with the knowledge of this...If I just choose the right..

I heard the new today my friend is gone, he lived for many years, yet he is missed already, To me he was known as Cat but he was sp much more than that...He receive the metal of honour a few times and met countless dignataries and diplamats he was part of the few the proud the brave, he was a Marine, he served in Vietnam, and several other fronts he taught high angle rescue for them and he kept many of the vehicles that were used ready for any thing, Cat is gone at this time yet his spirit will live on with me I have a great respect for him for who and what he was and still is, I know that he will meet those who led the way back home abd those men who are there are waiting to meet him snd show him the vastness of eternity..I will see Cat again when I depart this life and possibly to server with him in battle against the advasary...Simper Phi marine..till we meet again.

What do you know and why do you know it? I know that I beleive on Gpd because he has always been there for me, I know that Jesus dies for each of us. Because that is what I asked my father in heaven and that was the answer that he blessed me with. I know that we have a prophet alive today to help each and every one of us...I know that there is a reason I ent to Germany on my mission, because I was called by a living prophet (Spencer Kimbal) and he knew that the people I would meet would listen to the gospel because of my testimony whether it was the same language as mine or not.... I know that I am given tests every day that proove to me that I can get through this lifeas my father wanted me to. I know that my dad who passed away is working to make sure those who did not receive the gospel here are receiveing it there...and he will be waiting for me when I pass through the vail...I know these things because I have faith in the true and eternal God and his son..
