Standing

If the Lord were to come tomorrow where would you be? What will you be doing? Where were you be standing? What would you be looking at? What would you be saying? What would you be thinking?


For that last two or three days I have had this strong impression that the Lord's second coming is near. It is not an apocalyptic feeling, a prophetic statement, or even a vision that I had. It is a peaceful feeling that He can't wait to come and meet with us and I can't wait to see Him again. It's a feeling of joy that He will be returning soon to the House of his Father, even the temple. Yes, I know for a fact, and my heart doesn't doubt it for a second, that He will visit us there. This feeling just can't seem to escape from me.

Have you been there lately? Have you heard Him whisper to you? Have you felt his countenance around you? Have you felt his presence there? If so, then you'll know what I am referringn to.  If you haven't yet, don't wait. Each time I go to the temple the feelings and the promptings that He is there gets stronger and stronger. His coming is near. I am not sure if I will live to see his second coming, but lately I have had the stongest desire to see that my children and grandchild, and future grandchildren know and be ready to know where to stand, where to be, when the second coming finally takes place.  I hope that they know they feel very comfortable in that place.  

So where will I be standing when He comes? By now, you know where I want and will be when He comes.  If I am permitted to live that great and glorious day, I hope that I will be standing in the temple with my wife and children, and Penny, and future grandchildren. There, we'll be all dressed in white, hugging, crying with joy, embracing each other, and hearing Kelly saying “I told you He will come” and me saying “I always knew He will” and hearing my children say “I don't want us to be anywhere else. Thank you mom for all that you taught us, because without it we wouldn't be standing here.”

 I hope to see us all there, dressed in white, being ready to receive Him. To me, this is what the second coming would be like.



“Stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come; for behold, it cometh quickly, saith the Lord.”

Morbid but genius marketing idea!

So, let's say you are living your last days on this earth, advanced in age, don't have much money, and don't want to place the financial burden of having your children pitch in to buy you a casket.  What do you do?  Well...here is this little morbid idea that I came up with that could revolutionize the way we purchase our caskets in these troubling economic times.  A self-made kit casket!  Yes!  Wouldn't this be a wonderful idea?  A casket that your family can put together on their own that you already purchased for no more than 300 dollars.  Yes.  A casket that all it takes is a  little assemble.  Heck, if you can buy a desk at Wal-Mart and put it together, why can't you put a casket your self?  Well, not your self, but your family would be put it together.  All you would need to do is go to a place like Wal-Mart, purchase the casket, store it underneath your bed, and inform your children or will executor where they would find the casket if you were to pass away.  Imagine that...Instead of spending 5000 dollars, save your money, invest in a 300 dollar self-made casket, and enjoy living the last days of your life with the money you saved, 4,700, or donate it to someone in need. 

Now, I know that this sounds sac religious, but to be honest, I wouldn't like myself to be burried in anything other than a rectangular, simple made casket, made out of plywood and nails, and then donate my saving to someone who needs it, a young man who needs money to go on a mission, or helping a starving college student, or a homeless single parent.  That makes plain sense to me. So, if you want to go into the business of making and selling home made kit caskets, be my guest, take it from here; if it works, all I would ask that you do is to donate 10% of your gross earnings to yours truly.  Thanks for your kind consideration.

Late Innovative Ideas

There are some new products are out in the market that I have actually thought about years before they came but somehow some else did and made it happen.  About 7 to 8 years ago I thought of how convenient would it be if sleeping bags came attach with inflatable mattresses.  It was fun thinking about how to go about developing and marketing it.  But I ran out of steam and let that thought evaporate.  About three years ago I read in the internet about some company coming up with a sleeping bag attach to an inflable mattress.  I said "What the heck!!!"  Well, that is usually what happens to my ideas.  I think of them but don't do anything about it.  But the funny thing about it is that my family doesn't believe that I had thought of these ideas first.  Well, now I am on my way to prove them wrong.  I've decided to post my 'back to the future' ideas in this blog.  So here is my new idea:

A lawmower that cuts grass with water pressure; its doable.  People already use water to cut through metal.  What if you develop a lawnmower that instead of having blades it has fine hair diameter size streams of water that the mower shoots with a x amount of pressure, precise enought that it cuts grass and weeds but not toes?  I think is doable. What if it runs on one gallon of water rather than gas? Genius!!!

So, if you like this idea, you have my permission to steal it because I will never have the energy or brains to make it happen.  But remember, I thought of it first.

Ok...not exactly a good example of a prototype, but heck; you have to give it to guys like us who think just a bit different than the rest of the world. 

Mandatory Referrals to Counseling...with Jose

Work can be very stressful to some people.  I get the priviledge of working with some of these individuals at my private practice.    They are actually really nice people if you get to know them.
