Perspective is Everything!!


I did not provoke the fight so I feel no remorse for what I was forced to do.  We were arguing, and seeing that I was right and he was wrong, he decided to fight to  cover up his stupidity.
            He swung at me first, but being in top condition, I was able to act quickly and  block the punch neatly with my head.  Whereupon I jumped to the ground knocking him down on top of me.  
            Then I placed my ear in his mouth and poked his finger several times with my eye.  His teeth hurt so much from the strength of my ear that he became irate and tried to kick me, but I  cleverly blocked his onslaught with my ribs and face. 
            I scrambled to my feet and ran to my car in hopes that I would get away and save this man from my deadly hands.  Before I could start the car, he pulled me from the still open door.  I then proceeded to swing at him but only managed to hit  myself with his head.  Then I said, "What's this? Two against one?"
            That was the final straw.  I lost all control.  There will be no mercy!  Taking him in my death grip, I pounded him in the knee with my stomach, then hit him two or three times real hard in the fist with my teeth!  He had had it!  I could tell. After that he didn't even try to pick me up off the ground.  He was to CHICKEN!
            PERSPECTIVE IS EVERYTHING!  This life is tough sometimes and our trials can either tear us apart or drag us down.  Or we can learn from them and use them as building blocks to better ourselves.  THE CHOICE IS YOURS!

For the Beauty of the Earth!

Lately I’ve been trying my best to take time out of every day and just enjoy the beauty of God’s creation around us as well as the people in it. We live in one of the most beautiful places on earth! I hope you are all doing the same and loving the season, people, and places in which you live and are surrounded by. Nowhere else in the world do they have the comfort of knowing that so many of the people and things around them are so beautiful.  Take advantage of that blessing and show someone else just how beautiful you are by doing something to show your love for them. Don’t assume people know, show them. I love the Prophet Thomas S. Monson for that counsel.
 I hope that you are all showing each other every single day just how much you do care! One text. Wait, scratch text, one CALL!!! One call a day to a member of your family to tell them how much you care about them will strengthen your relationships, spirituality, sensitivity to one another, love for the Lord, and the list goes on and on!!... This is a commitment that I’m leaving to you all.....
