The End of the World!!!

We'll if you needed one more sign that the end of the world is coming, here it is!!!   I actually created a blog and posted to it.  Everyone knows about the fatty singing, but the fat guy blogging is soo much more the bringer of doom.  

I actually decided to start this blog yesterday morning at about 3:00AM.   I have been struggling as I feel like the world is collapsing in on me.   I have been sleeping mostly thanks to the use of prayer and faith.   I woke up at 2:00AM and I couldn't get my mind to stop.   I finally got up and went upstairs to pray and look for peace.  What I found was what I truly needed.   I have an app on my iPad that let's me download the last Ensign pretty much the minute it is published.  Well when I got up I had a notice that the Feb Ensign was available.   I downloaded it, and started reading it.   I was so spiritually fed.   I read a bunch of articles and each one had something that I needed to hear and feel.    I read about communicating with your spouse (I thought a spouse was only a special person you plot against with the kids, also a great person to get your kids to compare you against so they always know who the cool daddy is.).  Well after reading the article I realized that I am supposed to actually talk to her.  Who knew!!   All joking aside it made me realize that I can do better communicating with Eve (Eve if you read this and comment, I will go back to plotting with the kids against you!  I am thinking flour and turning off the hot water while you are in the shower!). At the very end of the article ever was 1 small brief paragraph that talked about using these communication techniques in your prayers.  The last line was simply "if you pray superficially, Heavenly Father can only answer you distantly." (paraphrased).   I realized that I needed to change the way I pray.  I have always prayed asking and thanking for what is important in my life, but leaving out my feelings and concerns behind my request.  I did this because I know Heavenly Father can see my heart and know my sincerity.  I realized I should be sharing my feelings and concerns because it allows Heavenly Father to help me change my perceptions and adjust my feeling to fits his needs for me.    After I finished reading I knelt in prayer and applied my new knowledge.    I felt so refreshed and changed.   As I stood up from my prayer, I got the clear impression that my Ipad was given to me, so I could keep an active journal.   I immediately found a could journal app and wrote down my feelings.  I decided I would start a blog too (Even if it meant taking crap from April.) (April I am quite positive I can influence your kids to plot against you with me, so watch it!! You won't even see it coming!).   So here I am writing a blog.    I will fill everyone in on the 5 crazy people at our house in another post coming soon.
