Another side of me

Like I mentioned earlier, I'm more than just a guy who likes sneezes. There's other parts to my life! XD My church has helped me out, and I wanted to say somethings I learned today.

-Be yourself. Don't be someone completely different at school than you are at church or when you are online. This way, no matter where you are, you reveal who you really are. Besides, it's no fun pretending to be a good guy or playing a 'bad boy' act just to impress someone when that is not who you are.

-There's beauty all around. I'm not gonna lie. College girls can be...very attractive :). At church, it's the same deal.

-I found my first college crush that actually talked to me back!! In a full conversation and not just hello. :D... :blush: ...moving on...XD

-My church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, is still the same even at college and there are college kids teaching instead of older people. You see, ANYONE at my church could get called to teach. Not just a bishop/leader.

-I may be in college, but Jesus is still important to me :)

-...........This one is really important to me personally. It's pretty serious. I don't know why, but I remembered a very big memory of something that happened during the time I was gone. During a time on my 2-year mission, someone I was teaching died. I was there the last day he was alive. I was there the hour he died and the doctors literally rolled his body outside and into what I believe to be his grave. I don't know why it hit me so hard today, but I remember this: there was a DIFFERENCE. There was a difference I felt from seeing him alive and seeing him dead. In both days his eyes were open. When he died the doctor didn't close his eyes. There was a kind of light in those eyes when he was alive, and then when he died, there was not. Call me crazy if you want. I truly, 100 percent, believe that there's life after death. The feeling I saw him dead was not dark and empty, like I was expecting a dead sighting to be.

...Why that specific memory happened to hit me today, I don't know. But this I do know: it gave me a sense of hope while I was at church today :) I hope I am glad I got. It's been a stressful week, as the first week of college class SHOULD be stressful.

I'm glad that I like sneezes, I'm glad I try to be myself everywhere I am and not just online or just at church, and I'm glad to be alive another day. Life is meant to be enjoyed and lived. Life is not all about church, nor all about internet things. I believe there's a lot more to life than any one thing. I make mistakes, but if I do the best I can, I'm happy. That's worth it to me.
I enjoyed today, and I learned some things I DEFINITELY was not expecting to learn. I wanted to share things so maybe whoever is feeling a little down may smile a little. I learned some funny things today, and I learned some serious things.

Thank you for this. It's very... well, I'm not sure how to describe it. It gives me peace.
