I didn't realize that it had been since Tuesday that I wrote of my new 'sunrise-sunset' principle.  But it  has been on my mind since.  And after last night even more so.  The BYU women's soccer team lost a heart breaker and I felt for them.  All night I thought of that and then in context of 'sunrise-sunset'.  I realized that there is a lot of stuff we feel very seriously about in this life that will just disappear when the 'higher' context is realized.  Now I know that 'sport' can teach gospel principles (remember that?), but change the context and you change everything.  I have been pondering on my own priorities relative to all of this.  I see a connection with the 'law of consecration' as well.  I am trying to put it all together and I see it making wonderful sense.  I am grateful that we actually can change (in fact, that's really what we're here for) and I see lots of need and lots of opportunity to change.  My two challenges to that are my time and my energy.  Hopefully, I'll find sufficient quantities of both before that 'higher context' becomes complete for me and is forced upon me.  For now I choose it and will apply the 'elephant' principle to my effort.  (Do I make any sense at all to you?)
