last night, I looked over freedom

i got a new perspective of how special this country really is. Though i wasn't above it all, i seemed to be the first contact point for all troubles this place had. all problems that were had were brought to my attention first. For every other time i had duty i wasn't the one in charge, this time should have been no different. but in the military, things aren't by the book. after the turmoil of the day ended i saw the base continued to breath and not rest. at 2:30 in the morning i saw marines running and training. as the morning commuters came in at normal business hours. a steady flow of cars kept coming in turning to go to the flight line. every small instance of the right thing that never goes noticed. i couldn't help but to feel like i had a heavenly perspective. i could imagine how the heavenly father feels when we simply do the right things. as i thought about all the wonderful things i have experienced in my life. i became very grateful. when you go to sleep at night remember there are people watching over you. at some instances they are even passing away for the everyday life you have. In some of us our heavenly father has bestowed upon us a feeling of responsibility. So we feel responsible enough to sacrifice our hearts, bodies, minds, and time for this country. sometimes in that instance time becomes more than a calculation, but it becomes eternal. just as our savior did for us, his actions apply, the greatest thing you can do is to die for your friends.

"All brave men love; for he only is brave who has affections to fight for, whether in the daily battle of life, or in physical contests."


still nothing compares to what our savior has done for us. for the things that i write down, the strength that is given to me, and all the blessing in life i am forever grateful.
