Don't read unless you've watched or read LORD OF THE RINGS.

I just finished watching Lord of the Rings trilogy.  Its a great movie if you haven't watched it.  The evil is of horrible creatures that only care about death and good is dwarfs, elfs, hobbits, wizards, and humans.   The main thing to this whole quest and the reason of the title of the trilogy is a ring.  Its gold with writing on it that can only be seen in the proper light.  With this ring it rules all of the other rings given to various groups of creatures.  The deal is that this ring is evil and cares for nothing of life only death. 

With evil they destroy anything that is good and love to work in darkness.  They hate the light and the sun that gives warmth to everyone that is good. 

The Ring of Power is the main ring controls everything and of how creatures live their life.  Now in reality there is no true Ring of Power that rules over other rings.  Though in contrast, the devil and his followers like to work in darkness and secret.  They only care about is death and evil.  They don't know love or care for life.  When there is light from God they fear and tremble and leave for they can not stand to be in his presence.  The Lord is all good and no evil in him.  He cares for life and loves everyone and everything.  His power is stronger then evil.  He also has followers that work in light and is open and not in secret.  The followers work to let life live and knows the meaning of love. 

We are all on the Lords side of light, life and love to do what is right and conquer the evil.  Though at times we are human and fall short of this quest and do something that is evil.  It is up to us to decide on what path we will on, the good or the evil? 

Revised posting of May the Force be with you! STAR WARS 1-6

In a galaxy far, far away.... we find ourselves seeing some creatures and humans interacting with each other.  We learn of C3PO, R2D2, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa, Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker), Ewoks, Obi -Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and Darth Sidious (aka Palpatine).  

At times we may be a character in this realm of world, Do we let fear overtake us and get angry and become Darth Vader more of machine then human?  Are we lovable creatures like Ewoks or tall like creatures like Chewbacca with an attitude when losing to a game? Are we out carefree with no care in the world like Han Solo? Are we out for an adventure like Luke Skywalker?  Are we of political realm like Princess Leia Organa? Are we Obi-Wan Kenobi that is a trainer to someone else? Are we wise of council like Yoda? Are we so much want for power like Darth Sidious?

I'm sure wither be at home, school, work we can all be these characters that is portrayed in Star Wars.   As these characters we can either use the Force for good or evil.  Darth Sidious uses his power for evil and to get power and in a way gets Anakin Skywalker to see the evil be much better than the good and makes him Darth Vader.  Yoda and the council of the Jedi uses the Force for good.  Let us hope that we use the force for good and not evil.

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!

Hope for the Future! Live for the Future! Welcome 2011!

What a Christmas this year was.  It was great being with family.  I'm glad that my blog for this month was to focus on the Savior, except the Pearl Harbor one, and his birth that we remember at this time of year. 

This year of 2010 has been a great year and looking forward to New Years Day! The day to celebrate the New Year of 2011. 

I was watching an episode of "Lois and Clark The Adventures of Superman" and it was about this time of year that we celebrate Christmas and the New Year.  At the beginning of the episode Lois and Clark walk into the Daily Planet and we notice

• The two countries want to sign a peace treaty from the news report on TV.
• A huge Christmas tree in the middle of the room with decorations and lights.
• Clark's parents are in town and enjoying themselves.
• Lois's mother is in town and feels good.
• Jimmy is excited to have a girlfriend to come over to the work party.
• Mr. White is happy
• Lois is glad to turn in her news story for the newspaper.
• A multi millionaire who thanks Superman for saving his life.
• Superman stopping a family man, who robs a bank.

During this time the magical being, not from our world, has followed Superman and meets him in one of the elevator of the Daily Planet and decide to play a game.  We notice that the hours of 12:00pm-4:00pm repeat over and over several times and that Clark Kent is in this loop of repeating time.  As the story goes along we notice changes to occur

• The Christmas tree keeps getting smaller and smaller till its like a Charlie Brown Christmas tree with little life to it and only one ornament on it.
• The peace treaty goes good peace to full blown war to who cares.
• The parents of Clark get heated up between the two into arguing and Jonathan just about has a heart attack.
• The mother of Lois starts drinking and doesn't give a care in the world.
• The date of Jimmy looks more like a gangster of the street.
• The multi millionaire gets angry at Superman for saving his life and wishes to be left alone.
• The police give up on taking the guy who robbed the bank, into custody.
• Mr. White is depressed that he didn't get to be Santa Claus for his two boys.
• Lois gives up turning in her great news story for the newspaper.

Clark doesn't understand what is happening, that things are going good and head to being worse and awful. He realizes that Clark needs to change something and fast.  Clark Kent then talks to Lois and tells her what has been happening.  The magical being is loving this for he realizes that he wants to rule the planet and have Superman leave.  Clark Kent doesn't leave and Lois realizes the same thing for hope to be alive.  So then the next loop Lois and Clark fix the right and give hope again to everyone and at the end of the episode the magical being realizes he can't stay any longer and leaves. 

If we as humans don't have hope then what is life then?

• Gloom
• Doom
• Despair
• Sad
• Miserable
• Hate
• Death
• Lifeless
• No color just blah.

Whereas if we do have hope:

• Color
• Life
• Happiness
• Joy
• Love
• Laughter
• Fun

Ever heard the phrase, "Live for the Future"? If we have no hope what is there to live for? We would be in a state of mind that is not the mind to live.  Especially not the one that the Savior would want us to live.  The Savior knew that life would be hard but would be worth it.  That we would have hard times, challenges, trials, etc.  The idea of hope is a good thing to have. 

2011 is a year of opportunity, learning, growing, loving, caring, serving, etc.  If we have hope we can conquer the evil that face us, able to endure the trial, overcome the challenge, be a better person. 

Hope for the future!
Live for the future!
Welcome 2011!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
