Preexistence

Some one recommended that I share my philosophy on the preexistence with every one so here goes.
There is a section of heaven where they keep all the spirits waiting to come to earth to get bodies. Our Heavenly Father likes order, He even says that he prefers a "house of order." D&C 88:119 So here is how I picture that ever shrinking section of heaven which is, even now, home to so many prebody spirits.
Bins, three bins to be specific. The first bin is the oldest child bin. If we were to take a step inside this bin we would see stalwart spirits. They would be studding their scriptures, teaching and attending classes on how to prepare for earth life, and discussing how to get from birth to death with their hand fixed to the iron rod.
The next bin is for middle children only. These people don't feel study is necessary, after all they are going to forget everything when they pass through the vail any way...Right? This is a carefree relaxed environment, pretty much anything goes. However, were we standing among these spirits right now we would notice one thing, how hard every little spirit is try to stand out. No one wants to blend in and get lost in the crowd, creativity is their song. Nearly every action is a plea to be seen. Indeed this is a fun bin or at least very entertaining.
The last bin is way off on its own where those spirits can't bug any one, especially the oldest child bin. It is by far the rowdiest bin there is because it is full of the last child for every family. I affectionately call them the Cappers, once you get one of these you will not want any more. I believe the Heaven works very hard to keep these little guys in their bin to preserve the before mentioned order. Cappers are the most unruly bunch, guaranteed to keep you on your toes. The bin of cappers is always full or at least it feels that way. When I think of the capper bin I think of my high school science teacher talking about excited molecules in some foaming chemical reaction, they are just pingin' all over the place. If you are preparing to have a family and think that you can avoid having a capper, you can't. Heaven is trying to unload them. They can and do come as only children, a word of caution, don't try to only have one child because you will get the most amazing capper.
