This post is a little too spiritual for Calvin and Hobbes
That was something I'll never forget.
As previously mentioned, I had the chance to go through the temple last Saturday and receive my endowment. That was such a sacred experience and it's hard not to talk about everything. If anything, I learned that the reason we don't talk about what we learn in the temple outside the temple is not because it's secret, but rather because it's sacred. We of course invite all to come to the temple, but what we learn there isn't something that should be casually brought up in conversation. All in all, it was well worth the wait.
I almost went 2 weeks ago, but decided to wait a couple of weeks instead. I'm now very glad I made that choice because it made a huge difference. I don't think I would have appreciated the significance of the blessings of the temple had I just rushed to get there like I was planning. Once I was able to slow down and have some time to prepare myself for the temple, I realized its significance to a much greater degree. If I could go into more detail, believe me I would. But trust me when I say that the Church is so true. Never doubt, never waver.
In other news, I've spent the last couple of days being the head custodian at the elementary school. I'm really glad I got that chance because had I not, I'd be very short on money. I'm not exactly sure why I was there, however, because the head custodian was there almost the whole time! He was supposed to take both Tuesday and Wednesday off, yet he didn't. Oh well, it's money in my bank account which is what I need; no complaints!
I was reading just this morning about Chris Paul. I used to despise him because he was Deron William's main rival and I was a huge Deron Williams fan. Then Williams started being a jerk to the Jazz organization and pretty much gave up on his coaches and the team. So now he's in NJ and no one cares about him. Then I go read up on Chris Paul. Surprisingly humble guy from a humble background. Has a wife and a little boy who he makes plenty of time for, especially considering his busy schedule. No tattoos, no earrings. Why? Because his mom told him not to. He handled his trade to LA with class, thanking his previous team for everything they did for him and thanking LA for the opportunity to play. He didn't lash out at the NBA (I know most of this doesn't make sense, bear with me) when his first trade fell through, he just stayed pretty quiet and let everything play out. I'm just really impressed with the way he handles himself in the spotlight. Seems like a pretty good guy to me, I think I may have a new favorite NBA player.
Well, that's all for now. Life's going great, and I'm a happy man!
