Sunset (with Added Commentary)

Ecclesiastes 3:1 - "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."

I reserved some time yesterday for some introspection.

I went up to the hill by our house, whereupon I'd watched fireworks on the fourth of July, and just watched the Colombia River Gorge as the sun set off on the horizon.

I considered where I've slipped in my own spirituality, what activities I could be improving on, what I wasn't doing at all.

I read scriptures from my smart phone, snapping photos every so often.

I'm not perfect. I recognized many things that needed to change, either for the better or completely.

I nonetheless felt a peace overcome me.

Upon returning home, I led a devotional for the teacher's quorum here at our ward, who were all spending the night in anticipation for assisting with a move this morning.

Dad and I sat and talked about my dreams and aspirations for a spell before we both finally staggered off to bed.

I thanked God for his love, all that he has given me, and all that he will give me.
