Life Lessons

My friend Chris was killed in a car accident on Sunday as he was leaving church.

I hope to someday record the things that I've learned from this experience in greater detail, but this is not the place, and now is not the time. A summary follows so that I don't forget:

Be in the right place at the right time.
Some things are more important than a bad hair day--baptism
Record your positive thoughts about people. Review them--a crush
Serve others-Be there when you know they need you.
Do it now.
Do it even though you don't know what it is that you are doing--extra flowers
Be positive--Christmas Caroling
Be a missionary--Christmas caroling, RS Newsletters
Laugh--"you guys are healthy", happy new year
Be a friend
Listen--technology
People first--business later--off work early to help me, moose
Say what you mean--eh...what for?
Little things are big things--water at Arctic Circle
Keep your eyes open--Step Up 3D, Fish Bowl
Do things even if you look like an idiot--Dance
Heavenly Father gives second chances--game night, nice notes
Heavenly Father has got your back--sick on Sunday, nice notes
Every meeting is important
