My mind was pretty much a blank until I found that yesterday's entry had elicited a comment.   Now I have much that I want to record as a response.  (Thank you, Shelli.)  During my lifetime I have often thought that one of the perks of heaven will be an opportunity to somehow 'see' the entire history of our family in some magical, visionary way.  To see each family member from our past, our present and our future has always seemed like a wonderful blessing.  And as technology has brought such innovation into our lives that idea has gotten more and more realistic.  I see that great visions have been recorded in the scriptures in that way.  Most do mention the recognition of 'people' in the panorama of vision given to the prophets.  So to think that we will be able to have that opportunity too for our particular family  is more of a realistic hope then a fantasy dream.  Secondly, I interpret Shelli's comment in a more basic and timely way.  My present project is designed to do that very thing for you-all to have access to our own family 'scriptures' and be able to 'see' our history.  I have started to organize my journals.  I envision a kind of a study area with our old furniture and eventually a bookshelf set up in my 'office', with all of the journals and family  newsletters and records to help one get lost in a sort of a 'vision' of study and recollection of life as we know it from February 6, 1969.   I know reliving and reviewing time, takes time, but if it is there 'they will come'.  That is an invitation which will motivate me to get it finished and available, but at least right now it is accessible.   There is a lot of information there, and it is the history of 'you' that I hope you will find time to appreciate and learn from.  And I hope that the blogs and the journals and the pictures will keep on recording all of us through our present and our future.  It really is an amazing story!
