This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 26, 2009:
Only if I could be with my love ones forever. I personally believe that all of us are entittled and given immortality, and that we'll live on forever after death. But I also personally believe that not everyone is granted eternal life. Eternal life meaning, that they'll get to live with God and their families till the end of time, forever and ever. And this is contingent on their actions on earth.
I've once told Peter--the Boy--that despite some of my contradictory actions or words, epsecially regarding my past, my religion and church is a very important part of my life. It's not something that I simply do on Sundays or Christian holidays, it's part of who I am. It's a choice and a lifestyle. And growing up, we had engrained in us the goal that we should marry in the temple. And a temple marriage is basically a marriage that is by the proper authority--one recognized and ordained by God. It's a marriage that is not "till death do us part," but it is "for time and all eternity." We believe that a temple marriage means that in the after life, if you and your spouse have lead worth lives, than you'll be able to share forever together. And forever is a long time to go on not being able to be with the ones you love or knowing that with your earth history, you and your spouse don't actually belong to one another. I guess my point is, a temple marriage is ideal if it's to the right person, than you could have the possibility of having that happily-ever-after.
That's the one thing that I've been worried about since the first mention of the future and spending a lifetime together with the Boy. Not everyone can enter into the temple. Not everyone can entire into the temple. You have to be a member of the church and a worthy member. I personally can't even enter the temple at this time due to my past transgression. I must first repend and become clean before I'm worthy to enter. Anyways, a non-member--the Boy--would not be able to enter the temple. And I would never expect him to convert just for me. If he does, I would want it to be because he truly belives. And even though I would really want to spend the rest of my life with him and and be married at least civilly to him, I don't know if I am willing or if I'm strong enough to last the eternities without him by my side. So would I want to live forever, only if I could be with my Dork Lord--yet another name for the Boy--till infinity and beyond.
