The Events occuring on June 17, 2010

So, yesterday went from really great to really bad (in the basketball world that is).
I take a summer institute class that is just for graduated seniors. It is one of the best classes i have ever attended. Usually the class is taught by Brother Birch. But he was on a daddy daughter date yesterday, so Brother Carver taught. It made me really wish that i had had him as a teacher. He has such great analogies and is such a good story teller. Our lesson was on the purpose of life and the agency of man. he started the lesson by asking what was the purpose of life. And we came to the decision that the purpose of life is happiness. Which i thought was pretty cool. And it made me think of the Declaration of Independence, and how it says that man has the right and liberty to the pursuit of happiness. So even the Declaration of Independence says that we should look for what makes us happy. And our church is one of the only ones that has A "Plan of HAPPINESS". I felt pretty clever for making this conneciton. Then he talked about agency. We got on the topic of the difference between Christ's plan and Satan's plan. Our goal is to be LIKE God, not to come back to God. So taht is why Christ's plan was chosen, because in order for us to become like God, we need the agency to do it. I thought that was pretty cool. I also liked that he said we should never call him Lucifer, because lucifer is a Good name meaning (the shining one), and he was not Good. I really enjoyed this Lesson.

Now continuing on to the not so good part of the day. The lakers (who should burn) won the NBA Finals. :( this was an utter disappointment, especially seeing that i love the celtics, mostly because i think Keving Garnett is Hilarious! :)

But to top of my day i fell asleep watching Hercules. :) Who put the glad in gladiator!?!? :) HERCULES!
