The Jack Pack: Things as they really are

Things as they really are

Tyler and I were asked to present at a tri-stake youth activity this week on Elder Bednar's talk "Things as they really are." I've been thinking, and praying for the last two weeks on how to address this sensitive subject. If you have time, read the article if you haven't already, and give me some thoughts on the subject. I'm really interested to see what others have gotten out of this amazing talk.

I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk's lawn.I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children.I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.
