Was heaven designed to be a lonesome place?
Just one mansion with bedrooms to spare?
I don't believe that is how it should be, but it's how
I'll feel if no one is there.
Will I even make it? I don't rightly know.
I sure am going to try.
But you know what the hardest thing for me is?
The hardest thing for me is to watch friend after
Friend decide to stop moving on. There are many reasons
why people stop. Restlessness, boredom, disbelief, doubts,
Exhaustion, frusration, ignorance and many others.
I've felt most of these too, and I know that they
Are hard things to deal with.
But that is why we have the church.
3rd nefi states that those who were baptized were known
as the church of Christ. The people, not the building
are what make up the church.
When we go through hard times the church is there.
When we fall there are others who help us get up.
So why do we walk away?
Why do you leave?
What more could you want than Heaven?
Who could love you more than Christ and our
Heavenly Father?
The answer: nothing and nobody.
That is why it makes me so sad to see you leave.
Because I know that you wont find the peace you need
Or the answers to your questions.
I am sad because you are my friends and I love you.
I don't like to see you wander. ..

I be back
Ahoy thar me harties, how be the weather fer sailin' this time o' year?
If truth be spoken on this here page, I have my doubts that anyone still reads or follows this here blog. But for those wayfarin' sailors, be ye pirates, vikings, or even a ninja with a small thirst fer the sea, that stumble across me adventures, I hope from the bottom of me blackened heart that ye enjoy them as I have.
And now I wou'd like to show ye all somethin' that I started to do whilst away in the lovely country of Uruguay. I call it dragon mail. I like it.

Exciting things
Ahoy there me hearties! Much has been a happening since last I was a was a writing to ye, via message in a bottle.
Fer one, my elder sister has gone and gotten married. Now, i have been asked many a time this past couple months if I liked the fella', and I would just like all of ye to know that I do. He is a very fine man, and I think the both of them are lucky to have found the other.
Anyways, they be a sailing on a new journey now around the seven seas. So, I be a hopin' that they can hazard the rough waters and still keep good attitudes about the weather, no matter if it be stormin' or sunnin'.
This was probably one of the more exciting things that happened, and I was all ready for it, when suddenly my elder brother, who I have sailed with on many occasion, goes and tells me that he has gone and found himself a special someone also. How about that? Pretty exciting, ain't it?
Another exciting thing that will be a comin' up, is that I am going to be a going to Uruguay for an extended period of time to go tell people about the Savior and all that he has done for them. That's right, I, Captain Samuel (sometimes known as Captain Barnabas Pockets, if you have read any of my previous posts) is going on a mission. I be a leaving on March 15 and shall be gone for two years. So if you ever be wondering why this blog's posts seem a little old at times, it is because I shall not be posting for two years, or somewhere around there.
However, I shall be here a little longer, and will hopefully be able to finish the art pieces I have been working on. I have been drawing sea serpents for my aunt, and sketching mermaids, because I think mermaids and pirates make a good match. I shall be a putting the pictures on this here blog as soon as I have finished sprucing them up.
Thanks fer readin', if ye ever do,
Sincerely yours,
Captain Barnabas (Samuel) Pockets

On the workings of something completely epic
Hello to all you people. That is if anyone actually takes the time to look at this.
If you do then congratulations, you get a heads up before everyone else. I am working a completely epic picture.
Of course it includes vikings, but this time it also has a sea serpent. So therefore it is an entirely new level of epicness.
Well, see you all later.

The Pirate Ruse
Book Report.
I just read a very interesting book. It is called, "The Pirate Ruse."
There was nothing inherently bad in this book, at least that I detected.
However, it was about pirates. So, it did hint some that pirates are not always the most morally inclined individuals.
Did I learn anything from this book? Can you learn something from a pirate, yes it was a romance novel, I discovered that as I was reading it, book?
I think yes.
In this book the main character who is a girl is given two Spanish pieces of eight. One of them is new and the other one is tarnished and worn. There were quite a few lessons that they applied to these two pieces of silver.
Such as, even though one is tarnished and worn, it is still worth just as much money as the one that is new.
They pointed out that people are like that and that we should all treat people as if they are of equal value. Everyone is important, and everyone can be forgiven and change.
It was a pretty good book. I think the author, Macia Lynn Mclure did a very good job.
She managed to write a pirate book and keep it relatively clean.
The only things I would warn people about if they feel like looking into reading this book are:
There is a lot of kissing in the last fourth of the book. I think she over did that a little bit. So if you feel like skimming you really aren't missing anything.
And, the pirate captain is in the habit of threatening to do things that he never actually does nor does he ever intend to do.

P.S. it's times like this when ye realize that bein nice to people is a good thing. Because then they don't feel like they've been marooned.
