My Lois Lane

There comes a time in your life when you meet someone who really truly opens your eyes.  Who helps you to see what life could be like in a perfect world.  For superman he saw that with Lois Lane. For me it was this wonderful lady pictured above.  Superman however did not get his happily ever after with Lois though, he chose to let her choose her own path and her own happiness which didn't include him.  For me it was the same and as tough as I thought it was going to be, when you see things from the big perspective you don't feel so bad.  The amount i learned in two months with her has astounded me each time I look back on it. I would be lying if  I said breakups don't hurt,  but the pain will subside and I must look with my eyes forward again. You may be wrong a million times but you only have to be right once.  Last night was tough and so today i will follow the advice of one of my favorite quote (Mary Anne Radmacher) it says

"Courage does not always roar.

Sometimes courage is the quiet voice 

at the end of the day saying,

'I will try again tomorrow'"

When that tomorrow is I'm not sure, but I will try again and with each relationship i get one step closer to eternity.

Superman's Real Kryptonite

The famed Kryptonite. The only thing that could ever stop Superman dead in his tracks. Known by his enemies and always futilely used against him, Superman has yet to be defeated in all of his epic battles. Take away his powers and there was still the one thing that they could never conquer, Superman's heart, which is the source of his real power. Every time Superman found himself against insurmountable odds, where Kyptonite was usually involved, they could never beat his will to do good which would always overcome whatever evil was placed before him. Just like light shines in the darkness, Superman's geniunely pure heart would send evil back to the very depths of hell from which it came. Yet with all the brilliance of Braniac or the craftiness of Lex Luthor, they never seemed to realize this simple and yet all important fact that Kryptonite was never going to stop him. You see it makes it even more difficult for these evil geniuses because Superman had long ago given this heart of Gold to a sassy, strong headed, reporter named Lois Lane. She is it's keeper and has thus become Superman's Real Kryptonite. Even though relations may have been severed due to his responsibility to save the world and his quest to discover his destiny, She would always be the keeper of his heart, thus making Superman invincible. She had given him all the motivation he needed to become the unconquerable hero that he is, making the only true kryptonite of Superman untouchable by any and all demons of the infernal pit. By giving his heart away it no longer became anything that someone could ever reach.

Fun!?

Recently I decided to do something fun for myself every week for no other reason but to have fun.  This last weeks choice......run to the Y on the Mountain near where I leave. I have chronicled the challenge....well kind of....in picture form.  I started from my apartment and ran to the top and back which took approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes and was a round trip of about 5 miles.  I didn't realize until I got to the Trail Head how daunting of a task it would be because i arrived at the trail head and was already dog tired. My stubborness prevailed however and I remembered Why I like climbing mountains so much.  It's the same reason I relish any challenge or trial.  The view from the top of what you have accomplished is incredible! And yes the last picture is of Lavell Edwards Stadium, which just happens to seat about 64,000 man it looks so small from up there!

Newness

So i just got a new district,  man it's such a nostalgic feeling. here is a pic of them in their first zone meeting getting introduced to the entire zone.  as you can see some of them still have the deer in headlights look and others have seemed to adapted more quickly. 

Fun With Macs

So I am just barely remembering how to put up photos on the blog,  and a little while back me and my family had a little fun with the camera function on our macs.   hope ya'll enjoy. 

God Be With You Till We Meet Again

So This week my Elders and Sisters left for their respective missions.....it's a bitter sweet departing.  This group went seemed to be more close knit than any other group and has definitely made an impression in my life. They all have amazing faith and I wish I could be there for every moment of their missions.    Here are some pics on the last day.
