For the deserving...

Here is a mystery for you.  It's easier to find one seat alone than two together and yet we still prefer the latter.  THAT is a mystery and a miracle. 

Another one for you to consider, big things are nice but the small things are better, especially if small things are grouped together.  People are best.

And again?  I DO want to go but I do not want to leave. That is the honest truth.  It is exciting to prepare to go out and serve the Lord again, in a way that will utalize the gifts He has given me.  People will come from all over the world to feel the spirit of Nauvoo and I get to contribute to the spirit.  What an honor and a privilage!  It's not even the grueling 12 plus hour days that worries me.  As many of you know I have been called as a performing missionary in the Nauvoo Brass Band!  All summer, I will be hanging out with 15 others just about as nerdy as me playing for the people who visit beautiful Nauvoo.  Can you say dream mission? 

It's hard to leave, though.  Even if only for three and a half months.  Drain my "savings", give a sweet summer away, knowing I have very little if any direction for when I return.  I suppose thats what the Lord gave us the anecdote to consider the lillies, how they grow.

How dare you, heart, making commitments without my permission!  Well, that's stretching the truth a bit.
