Funeral Potatoes

Why is that funeral potatoes, ham, green beans, jello, cake, salad, rolls--why is that the food of a funeral is this? I have the answer! It is way easy to prepare! I just went to my brother-in-law's sister's funeral. She was 27 and still full of life. It made me wonder really how short life is. How many people am i going to affect or to change. I realized that we need to be examples everyday and live life to the fullest. We never know when life is going to change on us or when we are going to change.

I realized another thing today about regrets. I was driving home from the funeral when I thought of Elder Who (which is not his real name). Was I too unfair when I wrote him off? Was I being critical or too naive? I don't know whether I will give him another chance when he gets home soon or just to give him up. I have already given up on one missionary. That was the hardest decision I ever made and I still don't know if I did the right thing.

I had a great dream last night about marriage. How it takes two people with marriage to make it work. Then I realized it was me having problems in the dream. I don't take risks. Never have. I believe that it will hurt too much if I do. I have built so many barriers around myself that i need to start tearing them down to let people in.
