Latter Day Sinner

The price of security is vigilance. Absolutely nothing lasts forever. Anything you want to keep you must be willing to defend. And if you defend something well it might outlive you. There’s a promise in Mormonism that with the correct ordinances that family relationships will last beyond death. But they are still maintained with vigilance in this life and into the next life. I do not have an eternal marriage and never have. Perhaps that is why I barely have a marriage at all at this point. Stephanie and I can’t even last “til death do us part” so “time and eternity” will probably forever out of reach.

The other thing I want to outlive me besides family is markezuma. He has a little of a life of his own at this point, but doesn’t live in peoples heads the way I want. In a thousand years if the world has heard of markezuma but can’t quite remember his creators name, I will be fine with that. Or maybe I won’t. Maybe I won’t be anything in a thousand years not even a memory.

All that’s left of this little guy is the photo. The can was recycled a long time ago.
