Scripture D&C 59:23 see footnote
We are called to represent Jesus Christ in helping people become clean form their sins, for our testimonies need to shine forth and be lights onto the children of men that they may see the glory and splendor of Christ's promises through our lives.
When we stay true to our baptism covenants we put off the "natural man" and become a Saint 'through the atonement of Christ the Lord"
Scripture Mosiah 3:19 see footnote
.......Today I awoke and readied myself for my 8am math class, my test #2 for Math 1010. As I left the house it started to rain and snow. No news yet on the National Guard. Had a busy day with class, work, and two institute classes. This is the year of REDEMPTION, this year is about satisfying personal debts, coming to term with a better me,....... What a glorious day it was.
Daily reading: 1 Nephi 10:1-12

8 Feb 2009
Its funny the coming out process is never over and really isn't necessarily for identifying with the LGBTQ community. It's your own journey for self-realization and finding your true self, your uniqueness and your destiny. As for the previous entry (In here labeled Feb. 1st) I am not gay, nor am I straight or bi, I AM QUEER. I AM ME. I don't conform to norms of society but travel a path of individualism.

Grandparents 50th Wedding anniversary (from blog)
Thursday, February 05, 2009 12:14 PM
Family bonds and ties are key the key to life. When you have a collective of individuals both of blood and those of mutual aspirations and love for one another we sew the fabric of life creating a wonderful masterpiece arrayed with every individual’s own personal imprint upon it. Whether you see your family on a daily basis, multiple times a year. Ever 2-3 years, or even 25 years there is that bond and connection that creates a sense of warmth and the all American family tradition.
This weekend we all traveled to Virginia Beach, Virginia for the grandparents 50th Wedding Anniversary, with every one traveling from Utah, Arizona, Illinois, and Northern Virginia we came in as a surprise to the unexpecting grandparents who through the genius mastermind of their daughter planned and instrumented this covert operation of bring the whole family together. Unfortunately Holly was not able to make but we will photo shop her in later. This is the first time the Tori, Chris, Kristen, and their parents have been all together in 25 years
There is always some adjustment when you haven’t seen someone in awhile and having to get to know people again during the reunification process only to leave again a couple of days later. Even the quirky humor of an aunt can take sometime getting use to (love you Kristen). The experience was great and everyone had an all around good time. We took many pictures and videos, reminisced on the past, had a wonderful anniversary dinner and enjoyed heartfelt conversation.
I will actually be returning in August to Virginia to perform the wedding of my brother and soon to be sister in law who will also have PJ’s first child by then Paul Aiden Vroegindewey. Family is something that should always be cherished and treated like your most important treasure.
