Family... one of the greatest things in all the world. Mine, I would like to say, would have to be the best. We get along great (most of the time). I live in quite a large family for this area. I have four brothers and one sister. The oldest is 27 and the youngest is 14. None of us are adopted. My parents are great. They understand almost everything. The listen and give advice when necassary. I love my family, and I'm so glad we can be together for eternity.
Eternity? What am I talking about. One other important part of my life is religion. I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Some people refer to our denomination as Mormon. I still have a lot to learn, but I'm learning more everyday. My trust is in the Lord. I love him very much. Someday, I will live with him, his son Jesus Christ, and my family in the Celestial Kingdom. I hope many of my friends will also join us there. I look forward to the day when I will embrace my brother, the Savior Jesus Christ, and my Heavenly Father again.

Actually, both my fathers. You see, my dad passed away August 19, 2002. It was my first full day of High School Freshman year. But, even though I miss him an awful lot sometimes, I'm at peace. I know where he is. I know he's doing the Lord's work in heaven. I know that he is where he is suppose to be, and I am where I am suppose to be. I know I will see him again. I know that we will live happily together again as a family. How can I know this? Because my father (and mother of course) raised me correctly, and I will not let anything come between me and making that dream happen. I luv my father more than anything in the world, and I wish only to please him in all that I do. How can I do that? How do I know what he wants? He wants what the Lord wants. If I but follow in the footsteps of my Savior and Stay Close to the Lord, then I will also please my father. It is that simple. It is that easy. Still... I often fail miserably. But that's what repentence is for. I must simply just pick my self up and keeping trying while begging forgiveness from the Lord and forgiving myself and others for our natural man foibles.
I LOVE THE LORD!
