BRIGHTEST HOUR




Wandering through starry skies
And when tomorrow's day arrives
I'll be a moment closer to the
Brightest Hour here with you

One step closer, getting brighter
One step closer, getting brighter

Wandering through starry skies
And when tomorrow;s day arrives
I'll be a moment closer to the
Brightest Hour, here with you


my heart is full, it hurts. as i step off on a small journey my thoughts run crazy about you and you and you. i can't wait to make the first step to see you. then again i can't wait to come back to you. i am amazed at all the people i love in my life. i'm simply excited to see all my family, then my olden friends, then my newer friends again. i'm sad to leave the person who has my heart, and my friends that i'll be leaving all behind so soon. i'm enthused to begin this small journey. lucky to hear the Prophet and Apostles. i have a lot of praying to do. there is so much to be grateful of during these hours as i migrate across this blessed country. i know that i will enjoy this trip. its all climatic in a way a story ends or transitions to a newer plot. i'm doing my best to keep the allegory of this entire story to "sacrifice for the gospel."

today reminds me of this Andrew Bird song called fiery crash.

beige tiles and magazines
lou dobbs and the cnn team
on every monitor screen
you were caught in the crossfire
where every human face has you
reaching for your mace so it's
kind of an imposition
a fatal premonition

to save our lives you've got to envision
the fiery crash
it's just a formality
why must i explain?
just a nod to mortality
before you get on

before you get on a plane.
oh, close your eyes and you wake up
face stuck to a vinyl settee
oh, the line was starting to break up
what was that you were going to say?


the most contagious thing is a big smile!

this has nothing to do with me

oh crud
