Updates

So some people have requested that they want to hear what's going on in my life or something. They said something about that's what blogs are for...I still refuse to believe them.

I work at the Florida Bar, and I'm going to school for business. I'll probably be in school the rest of my life though so i still have no career plans yet. The second coming might happen before i get out of school. :)

James R. Brannen, My grandpa and father in the gospel recently passed away after 6 weeks of problems in the hospital from a car wreck. He was the one that baptised me, gave me the priesthood (Aaronic and Melchesidec), he gave me my patriarichal blessing, and was my escort in the temple, he was there supporting me for my eagle scout award, and always rewarded me for good grades in school, he challenged me to memorize important scriptures and the articles of faith, and would always encourage me to do good in life. He is a hero in my life and one of the most influential people to me. I only wish he could've been there to seal me and my future wife in the temple. I'm glad I got to spend a part of his life so close to him. The funeral service on wednesday was very special. There were tons of people there and many good words spoken. It was his time to go and he's doing a lot better now. He was a great example of how to overcome the flesh and successfully make it through this probationary state we are all in. Losing someone close, as I imagine some of you are familiar with, really puts things into perspective. How short this life is and how important it is to do good. He will be missed but we'll see him soon. until then i'll strive to do the best I can in this life so I can finish strong just like "Qua Qua". :)
