I am returning to Utah this week for sister's wedding and the prospect of snow is not a welcome one. Houston has basically two temperatures, hot and really hot. So cold will be a big surprise. I got to speak in church this week and I didn't polish up enough to go really smoothly. Well my life was really boring well week. So I will probably more next week.

"What do I want?"

What do I want? This question has been on my mind because my wife often has difficulties making small decisions. My parents raised me to take turns. Turns on who get to pick that evenings activity. Which movie? Where to eat and so on. She often doesn't know what she wants. (Of course I am very grateful that she instantly decided wanted me around.) All this thinking about her wants made me consider my own. What do I was now? What do I want soon? What do I want in the coming years? What do I want at the end of my life?

It interesting if you examine the history of self-made millionaires, actors or actresses, Olympic athletes or anyone else that accomplishes something. There is a point far before they had done anything that they decided they wanted it. They decided they wanted it badly. They wanted it more then almost anything. When the time came to make the small choices as to that day's activities, they chose activities that lead to what they really wanted. Money. Fame. An Olympic medal. There is another aspect to this. Each and everyone of the prophets in the scriptures desired "the things of God", "spiritual things" and "To know Son of God". (Look at Abraham, Mormon , Nephi, etc.) So if we really want it we can have it.

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and thieves break through and steal;

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

So what do you want?

Long time no see

Well, I had been without internet for quite sometime. I also had small life change called marriage. So my blog is not dead. I am not dead. But I found sometime to finally post a blog.

A friend of mine said before I was marriage that everything that annoys you about a person will become a hundred times worse after you get married. Well I would say that is true, but I must be luckiest guy in the world. Living with Nicole is wonderful. We have our differences in things that we want and or care about. But more importantly we agree on the important things.

I had several random thoughts throughout this last week but as thoughts do, I neglected to pen them to paper and they abandoned me. So all I got is people are different. People make decisions differently. Everyone thinks that the way they did it (often the way their parents did it) is best. It may really be the best or it really me not be. But in marriage or friendship or in any sort of relationships you have to open and understanding to different ways of thinking. This is also true of society at large. Driving in Houston has different norms then driving in Utah or driving in California.

Well I plan blog weekly from now on, so look for more random thoughts.
