It Won't Be Long

My friend Diane sent me this quote after she watched my Jupiter song.

".....surely those who have passed beyond, can see more clearly through the veil back here to us than it is possible for us to see them from our sphere of action. I believe we move and have our being in the presence of heavenly messengers and of heavenly beings. We are not separated from them....we are closely related to our kindred, to our ancestors, to our  friends and associates and co-laborers who have preceded us into the spirit world. We cannot forget them; we do not cease to love them; we always hold them in our hearts, in memory, and thus we are associated and united to them by ties we cannot break...[They] can see us better than we know them. They have advanced; we are advancing; we are growing as they have grown; we are reaching the goal that they have attained unto; and therefore, I claim that we live in their presence, they see us, they are solicitous for our welfare, they love us now more than ever."  (Gospel Doctrine: Selections from the Sermons and Writings of Joseph F. Smith (Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1978), 430-431)

Diane thank you so much, keep the quotes coming my way! You and my mom are fountains of wisdom.
I have had many experiences in my life that have taught me that we really do have angels around us. I know many of my family and friends who have had beautiful experiences. It's not some rare thing that only happens once in a life time. If your heart is open you can feel your angels love every day.



How about a song. I wish the quality of the recording was better. I hate how I sound fuzzy.

I just tried to record  It Won't Be Long.  It took me 6 tries!!!! 6!!! It's almost 1am. I know this song perfectly. It's really easy to play and the words just repeat themselves. I have sung it perfectly at the open mic.

It's full of mistakes and I was going to give up. Nate called up from downstairs. "Don't give up"  So  I just kept going.  It's not perfect but I hope you get my meaning and feel the truth of it.

Here are the words in case you couldn't understand me
It Won't Be Long
I passed the devil on the street today
handsomely disguised
he recognized me I recognized him
handsomely disguised
but I saw his eyes and they burned with hate and lies
turn around turn around
he says to me without a sound
but I saw his eyes
so I pass him by

you can't fool me
with your cheap disguise
you know I have the eyes to see your cheap disguise

And it hasn't been long since I've flown with angels
no it hasn't been long since I've flown with angels
I know there's only one way for me to get brave and strong
I gotta be down here choose the right from the wrong

I passed the devil on the street today
handsomely disguised
he recognized me I recognized him
handsomely disguised
but I saw his eyes and they burned with hate and lies
turn around turn around
he says to me without a sound

he knows I see his eyes
so he tells me lies
 that I want to believe
that are just for me
lies just for me
that I want to believe


but I hear the angels and I  know their song
I feel the angels with their love so strong
I hear the angels and I know their song
I feel the angels with their love so strong
and it won't be long no it won't be long
I gotta be so brave and strong choose the right from the wrong
and it won't be long
no it won't be long!
