“You Mormons seem more concerned about standing before the Lord than your standing before the Lord,” he said.

     “I don’t understand.  Is that a double ontondre?” I said. 

     “Yes.”  (I felt so much better)  “Mormons are more concerned with the end of things, rather than the journey – the event than your condition – His vengeance than His approbation – death rather than the quality of life.  All of your preparedness talk seems focused on avoiding death than learning how to live.  You are a bunch of optimistic pessimists, waiting for the wicked to get what they deserve.”

     And then I understood Pres. Kimball’s words:  “life is a process, not a profession,”  and I try to understand better each day my standing in His presence.  Preparing is always to be on the Lord’s errand.
