careful planning
i really have nothing relevant to say. but i guess no one cares to read my thoughts in the first place. lately i have been consumed with missionary work. befriending someone that wants to be baptized in this wonderful church. at the same time i've begun to prepare myself for a mission. its something that no one can really be surely ready for 100 percent. but i feel well prepared and anxious to teach with the spirit. basically because i've felt like a part time missionary for years now. this friend i mentioned, i've been through the lessons that the elders and myself taught him. i knew that he felt the spirit, as we prayed for it. during the lessons the spirit shared with us all the truth and the divinity of our savior. mostly for myself when we brought up the sacred grove. for anyone that is reading this, saturday your welcome to come to michael cooks baptism. if not i'll be sure to share this experience here.

every crush and teenaged kicks
sometimes i hope for better things in life, even if i dont deserve them. maybe i wish to break every human instinct and fly away from the boundaries of being real. so i could escape every angst and vice alike. this search for happiness is written everywhere. if you listen real hard you can hear the words come from under rocks and behind trees. very seldom is it ever in peoples voices. whenever it is though, your heart will be full. whenever they say your name, or even when they just smile. a flood of water forms behind your eyes. hoping to escape. with the slightest touch or eye contact. the soul starts to rise and levitate. maybe i just wish i could leave with you. in this searching for the words of happiness i put to much hope into your own words. this hope that you could help me fly on broken wings is not such a great idea.

promptings
i'm very tired and i have to say right now that i know without a doubt in my heart, mind, and soul. in a humbleness that is hard to explain. i know for a fact that my redeemer lives. he is Jesus Christ. my heart is full. to make it all simple, i know that the choices i'm making are right. i'm not exceedingly happy. i just so excited to go on a mission. and im not "!!!!", i'm very pleased with my life. ahh if anyone ever reads this its true! it is so very true! i wish you were here so i could tell you all the wonderful things that are in my heart.
And upon the wings of his Spirit hath my body been carried away upon exceedingly high mountains. And mine eyes have beheld great things

are you sleeping?
i think the worst thing about today's society is how we treat each other as outcast. how we limit our time together. i always dreamt that there would be a life where you can escape to days technology. have a life with no interruptions, where you can spend time entertaining, working, and loving one another. maybe thats why i am who i am. i see past all the things the worldly things everyone else loves. i think thats why maybe myspace and facebook are so popular.
sweet confusion
I'm not gay but Elton John is FGGT that can write some epic songs
Simon and Garfunkel too i don't think Garfunkel's femme though?
either way this is about being confused. not gay but just love in general and how it never ever makes sense. how i don't ask for anything at all don't expect anything. then things appear that they are turning my way on all fronts. pursued, appreciated, and connections made. still nothing is enough. what I'm receiving is confusing with all the mixed signals i keep getting from more than one girl at a time. all the same. True I'm not looking for a relationship. i love the friendship and small amounts of companionship. but for once i would like to feel wanted. it has been years.

Freedom
I rambled about finding America. your America. its really something that you have to keep fighting for. endure the hardships. why is every other country hard on us? the same reason people have it out for our church. its the same as the Lamenites treated the Nephites in the book of Mormon. they cant comprehend the love we have for it. they are afraid of what they don't have and what they don't understand. freedom is so beautiful its not easy to understand. you have to sacrifice to get it, or to really understand it.
Alma told his people this, as they became dissenters
And he also knowing that it was the only desire of the Nephites to preserve their lands, and their liberty, and their church,therefore he thought it no sin that he should defend them
Nevertheless, the Nephites were inspired by a better cause, for they were not fighting for monarchy nor power but they were fighting for their homes and their liberties, their wives and their children, and their all, yea, for their rites of worship and their church.

united states
this is a country where you are the freest . freedom, you really can't comprehend what it is until you aren't free to choose the smallest of things. so go find apart of America that you hold close to your heart. let it grow.
"It's kind of like the fight's never over," said Sgt. Jacob Fultz, 22, from Gardner, Kan. "It started on July 4, 1776 and now it's 2008."
into a bottomless pit
try to look down one and you will be thankful for what you have. and be grateful that you have not just a bed and and a pillow. a blanket to keep you soft and warm. you will be thankful for freedom. blessed that when you fall asleep tonight you aren't alone. that tears aren't rolling down your cheek because you are afraid. most importantly be most thankful for the things in this world that are so dark and immorally wicked can't hurt you. that those things aren't even in your thoughts. feel the gracious light that has been more than helpful in your life.
