It may be

May it be sounded better, but Enya already used that, and this is not aural anyway.

I am on a search to know what matters the most, and it really looks like obtaining salvation matters most. Accordingly, I was suprised that Enos' story had been so plainly written and ot has not become a blueprint. I mean, really? Is it not a story of how to achieve the thing that matters most?

We earn lots of money so that we can afford to go to school for years so that we can make more money to raise children who will do the same thing and we learn valuable lessons along the way, and then die. Many poets claim it is the journey not the cycle that matters most, after all it ends in death, or is that the end? All of our education taught us it was the end, and beyond death is only hope, and it is foolish to not ulitize what we have, um but look how we utilize the time we have.

If salvation matters most it only took Enos a few days opposed to a lifetime. As I considered it, if it does matter most, a sure thing has been written on how to achieve it, and yet, we do not hear of people taking a salvation sabatical but, instead we even encourage indebtedness to go to college for years to become  "educated". I do not mean to sound like Martin Luther, but if Salvation matters most, and Christians are not hypocrites, a huge reform needs to be made.

Recently, I have been greatly influenced by the suggestion that reform must start with each individual.

Mormonism teaches that young men and women ought to go serve the Lord for a couple of years, it seems like a law,of Moses thing, a great and wonderful thing, but merely a type and shadow of the thing it represents. Putting God first and believing all need his love and influence is a powerful thing, at such a crucial age, it is a great way to change oneself and become the sort of person who collectively would make the world a better place, but unfortunately, so many return, like those who knew and crucified Christ after keeping the law of Moses for thier entire lives but never grasping why.

I have heard many speculate about how it is even possible the disciples of Christ(his inner circle) did not understand his mission and recognize him when he did exactly what he said he would. It is looking at the mark, even focusing on it, but being blind to what really is. I wonder if most of us go through motions, but fail to recognize.

I require more time to let my feeling settle into thoughts, but at this point I only hope that Salvation matters most. How awesome it would be, though hard, I conceed.
