There is a feeling in me right now that I can't describle. If it be anticipation or what.  Its coming rrom what I've been reading for most of the day.  its called "The Coming of The Lord," by Gerald N. Lund.

It discussed what the signs of the Coming of the Lord are, in detail, specific things that happen, disease, war, pestalence, earthquakes & other desolations.  I saw it in the West High Seminary Library.  I saw it before & was intersted to find it.

I am just so very thankful that I have the oportunity to repent.  I know now that I will refran from sinning least I will be stricken with the wrath of God.  I got a paper from Seminary that has lots of saying of how to get rid of pride & how to lift up your fellow brethren.  It says that once you get rid of the element of competition then you get rid of pride.  I then looked at myself & found out that I was lifting myself up in pride that was thinking that I was better than everybody else on the trumpet at West High.  I'll stop thinking like that know.  I also found out that there are not just "worldly" poor people on the streets that we need to be helping but that there are emotionly & friend lacking poor people in the world we, or I can help.

Left scool early from Mr. Hunt's class because he never comes in time so I left.  But I found out that he came after I left & they sight readed some music.  

From reading this book, I have a more powerful influence of what will happen to me if I don't keep the commandments.

At 9:00 I got back from a West High Basketball game against Granit.  I'm in the West High Pep Band, and I'm the most frequently (only) called on person to play something when nobody is playing.  JIM says that I'm lucky, "Your a freshman & you get called on to do stuff."

There was a note on the board in 2nd Black from Mr. Loveland's son saying that he appreciated everything that students of Mr. Loveland did for him.  Lots of homework in Algebra.  Need to ask Mr. Upton about somethings.

Great Spirits have always encountered violent opposition.  I saw this on a wall yesterday.  It was formally under Albert Eienstien but I think it applys to Joseph Smith & all Mormons.

There was school today.  Nothing unusual.  No home work.  I left my big scriptures at school accidently.  During 3rd Red today, someone put a pencil tip in Mr. Brown's keyhole in his door.  He called the janitors but they couldn't get it out so we had class in another class room.  After Brown was over with teaching.  There was still 40 minuets left for class.  So the class decided to watch the Last of the Mohicens (rated R!)  I didn't watch it, I turned the other ay & listened to classical music on my tape player.

I was thinking; the chasam between God & man is briged with a tempel.  When many temples are built, the chasam will be compleatly filled pulling heaven & earth together to be as one.  Temples are for members to feel that they are in the presence of the Lord.

Today I went out to do Fast Offerings @ 10:00 am.  I went with Mike Poulson.  We both got big packets.  It gets really annoying when people don't anser the door or say, "I don't have any mony today."  I had 20 envelopes to do.  I took us a half an hour to go to eveybodys house & only 2 people payed.  But I don't get angry, I do what the Lord wants me to do with joy....a littel joy.  Next month we are trying something new.

Tomorow school starts.  I think I'll take my normal scriptures to seminary.

I took the sacrament with the promise to my Father that I will make it threw this week.

It was warmer than usual today.

There wan't really anything to do today.  I sat around & felt sleepy, I never went to sleep tho:

I was thinking today, satan cannot make you sin.  It is your choice.  He can "ONLY"!!! make sin more desireable & look like the better choice.  Don't let satan have power over you, you have power over him.

Found out on T.V. that the Cherleaders from West won 3rd place in the WORLD!  The went to Tokyo, Japan to compeat.

Tomorow church starts at 1:00pm, but they want me to help with Fast offerings at 10AM.

Practiced today.  Maybee I'll pray before & after I practice that I'll improve.

P.S.  Don't know if I should take sacrament tomarrow.?

Spent New Years Eve doing nothing except the dance I went to at the stake Center.  Not alot of people.  Here are my New Year Resolutions:

1.  Overcome Masterbation

2.  Write in my Journal everyday or when possible.

Don't want to set my heights too high.  Only on or two, not 4 or 5.  I learned that you can get to know people at dances.  Practices my trumpet today.  Here are some streamers from last night.
