I Love To See The Temple

Today has been a great day.  I went to a volleyball tournament with my ward.  We did pretty well and it made me remember how much I love volleyball.

Anyway, the really great part of my day came after.  I was feeling a little confused and such so I knew that I needed to go for a run.  I planned on going on a short run.
Once I got running I knew it was the right idea.  I had the perfect starting song (Free and Lonely-X Ambassadors).  It was also a little rainy which was the perfect weather.  I felt strong.  As I was running towards downtown, I knew that I should run to the Salt Lake City Temple and take some time to walk around and just look at the temple.
Another right idea.

I sat down looking up at the Angel Moroni and basked in the glory of the temple beauty.  I was happy.  I was at peace.  And most of all I knew that God was watching over me.

I didn't want to leave.

After awhile I was getting a little cold though.  So I got up and continued forward. :)

Originally I was going to take 2nd ave until I hit the cross street with my house.  But as I was running, I decided to go a little longer because I just wanted to run.  

Yet another right idea.

I finished my run and my dad happened to be at the house with our dog Arrow, and I was greeted by her running to me.  Such a happy feeling.

Today's run was really important to me.  I had a little more perspective about the things I want to change in my life.  I was able to focus on the importance of the temple and how the Spirit surrounds it.  If there is that much power on the outside, you can only imagine how much power is inside.

I'm running for change, for perspective, for God, and for someone. Not just myself.
