an eternal perspective

Well I've finally made it to the temple! What a wonderful place to be at. It truly is the house of the Lord and it will fulfill every description of what the house of the Lord should be like. I feel like I've learned and been through more than my brain can handle. It was truly a unique experience and something that I would wish everyone could be a part of. When I walked out, I felt so squeeky clean and pure that -in a morbid sort of way- I might not have cared too much if I was hit by a bus or trampled to death by a llama because at that point you really feel like you could die and be saved and everything would be just fine.

I was quite nervous beforehand because I really didn't know what to expect like I do with a Sacrament meeting or a General Conference etc...But once you get inside the building it is so calm and peaceful that it is hard to be worried about anything really.

Most everything in the temple is symbolic of something and everything is there for a reason and a purpose and I feel as if it may take me a whole lifetime to figure out everything. But one thing that really got me was how the temple puts into focus the eternal perspective of everything. You know, life isn't just another bad day or another deadline or another homework assignment or another shift at work. There is so much more to life than just what is happening now at this moment. Life is eternal and life is one eternal round that never ceases to exist. Humans will never cease to exist and there are so many mini-miracles packed into every second of life that it just seems impossible for any mortal human mind to even comprehend what is going on. But it is so comforting to know that there is a plan through all this chaos of life, and its comforting to know that there are things I can do on this Earth that can really matter to not only me but so many other people.

Well I could go on forever and ever but I've tried to keep my blogs short and sweet. Plus I'm REALLY tired at this point.

What a wonderful day.
