He cometh...tomorrow!
"It'll all get better in time" I sang (along with Leona Lewis) to my brother Boyd, who responded without hesitation, "And time is up! We'll soon open the seventh seal, if we haven't already..."
Such excitement has inspired me many a time to dive deeper into the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. And what better time than Christmas?..when we celebrate His First Coming!
While none of us 'know...the day nor the hour' (Matthew 25:13), 'the hour of His coming is nigh' (Doctrine & Covenants 133:17) and could be closer than we think...especially when bold 'how'd I miss that?' prophecies are fulfilled right in my ears and before my eyes.
President Gordon B. Hinckley told me Saturday October 6, 2001 that the moon turning to blood prophecy (Joel 2:28-32) has been fulfilled, yet I never saw or really heard until Boyd pointed it out to me a few months ago.
Hmmm...how many more are passing me by unaware?..as a thief in the night (1 Thes. 5:2).

Shortest Darkest Day of The Year (Yesterday)
December 21 (A.K.A. Winter Solstice) gave us (Salt Lakers) 9 hours 14 minutes & 51 seconds of daylight, while today we will experience 9 hours 14 minutes & 55 seconds of daylight--a whopping 4 seconds more!
BooYah!
This longer lighter trend will continue until we experience the longest lightest day of the year June 21 for 15 hours 6 minutes & 5 seconds. Just under 6 more hours of daylight.
Sah-wheet!!
We'll go back on Daylight Savings in a couple months (March 8), enjoy the first day of spring in a few (March 21), and be spring skiing, hiking, & biking before long.
Bring it!!!
Hmmm...the winter window's closing quickly--I better get out and slip, slide, & tackle some snow!
