WHAT NEXT

Looking at the title of this blog entry, I guess I don't know what is better grammar: What next or What's next.

Perhaps the answer isn't a question of grammar but a question of deeper meaning.  Consider the following thoughts.

Yesterday was the one year anniversary of my temple marriage to Shannon.

Today our families will gather to hear my stepson, Austen, share experiences from his mission.

Both of these events, the mission and the marriage, are great achievements for our family.

Great achievements rarely happen by chance, but by choice.

We can choose to let life happen or we can choose to make life happen.

We can live a life of indecision or we can make decisions.

We can live a life of non-goals or we can achieve great things with goals.

Clean doesn't happen by chance, it happens by choice.

We can choose clean or we can choose clutter: Our house doesn't get clean by chance.

Weeds will take over our garden by chance, but we can weed the garden by choice.

We can be victims, as President Wilson calls it, or we can be victors. We have the choice.

We can take action, or we can be acted upon.  We must act and not react.

Perhaps the answer then to the title of this blog is simple: it could be either one.

What next?  or  What's next.  We decide.  It's our choice.
