Time Flies

My brother gets home two months from today!
I can't believe it.
He has been serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for nearly two years now.
It's a long time, but it really does go by surprisingly fast.  
Thinking of how quickly time passes reminded me of this song 

Life goes by so quickly.
I've been thinking a lot about this lately as I was looking at some old pictures from growing up.
It was also on my mind as I got news of a girl my age 
from my High School who passed away about a week ago. 
Life is short.
Holy cow, it really is.
It's comforting to know that no matter what trials we go through in this life, they will be over shortly.
It's also important to enjoy the great things in our lives as well,
 because they might not be with us for long as we hope.
But no matter how short life is, one thing is with us forever (if we keep our covenants) and that's our family.
God is good.
Life is short.
Live it to the fullest.
Do more of what makes you happy, and do it today. 
You never know what tomorrow will bring.

Only at BYU...

Okay. Call me a nerd. I don't care. 
Last night a group of us met in an apartment after ward prayer and just read scriptures together. 
We went around the room and read the Book of Mormon and just had a great gospel discussion for hours!
It was wonderful. I loved it. I am a fan. Everyone had such good insights, and I learned and realized things that I have never noticed before. It was awesome :)
The Gospel is true. 
The Book of Mormon is true. 
One other thing I thought of was just how true the Book of Mormon was. 
I mean....could college students sit around and make sense of and learn things and make connections, take apart, and learn life lessons from a book that was just made up by some crazy guy? No. 
I know Joseph Smith is a prophet of the Restoration and he restored the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
