An Observation

Just for the heck of it I like to look at my stats sometimes. Ya know, see you all is reading my blog and all that good stuff. I have made a few observations:

#1
Oddly enough, my most read post is about my toes. Why? I posted this thing in November and even this week have had 4 people look at it. Are my toes really that interesting?! Also, said post has no comments. Again, I ask Why? If so many people are reading it, why aren't any of them writing about it? hmmm....

#2
Another observation I made from looking at my stats is that people in Alaska are reading my blog or have read my blog. That's pretty cool. Who are you? Can we please be friends? Are we already friends?

#3
Not only are people in Alaska looking at and reading my blog, but at least one person from the following countries have looked at my blog. This is pretty crazy!
United Kingdom
Germany
Belgium
Canada
Czech Republic
Netherlands
Poland
Spain
Japan
I think it is way cool that people from these countries have looked at my blog! Even if it probably was just a google search. Whatevs.

Well it's nice to see that people around the world are reading about my life, or just passing by on a search for something.

Where do your readers come from? And what do others think is most interesting in your life??

New Blog

Check out my new blog! I'll still keep up with this one for happenings in my life. But the new one has a real purpose! Each week I will dedicate the post to someone who has influenced my life for the good.

So go on, check it out. It could be you that I admire.

Walking with Christ

I'm on the institute council here at EAC and every Monday at our meeting we receive a challenge to do for the week. Last week we had a challenge to imagine that one day of the following week we had Christ walking right beside us the whole day. I got busy that week and simply forgot. I was reminded this week at the meeting and decided that I would definitely do it this week. Today was the day I decided to do it. It was a very neat experience. It really effected my thoughts about other people. I tried harder to see the greatness in everybody and to not to speak ill of anybody (I kind of have a problem with them). It also effected me in the car with the music I was listening to. It was an eye opener for me to see all the things that I could change about myself if I knew that Christ was walking right beside me all day.

On the other hand, there were some real highlights to my day because of this. Like in choir we are singing "My Song in the Night," a song of prayer to our Heavenly Father for help in the midst of darkness and trial. Imagining Christ standing next to me while singing this made it more real and made me more passionate about it. Also, tonight I was singing through some solos preparing for The Messiah that EAC does every year. These songs are all about Christ and his life, hence it is called "The Messiah." It was a touching experience even though I was just practicing these songs to be singing about a man who I had imagined to be with me in person all day.

I know that Christ is always with me and can see ALL my actions and read ALL my thoughts, but sometimes that is forgotten in the busyness of life. Today was a great reminder of what everyday should be like. If you would like to do the same, I challenge you to do so. It is a great way to evaluate your life. I hope that you will be better than me and not have to change much to accommodate the special guest. I also hope that you will have as sweet an experience with it as I did.

All caught up and no where to go!

I'm a nerd. You all should know this. But it is a good thing and I am dealing with the fact quite well if I may say so myself. The most recent evidence of this is that everyday when I go to work (cleaning my dad's office), rather than listening to music like I used to do, as of about a month or more ago I've been listening to MormonRadio. I love it! There are so many amazing programs on it created to uplift - not to mention all the talks and Music and the Spoken Word they play. It makes my work experience 100% better for sure! Anyway, I bring this up because last night as I was cleaning the office, one of my favorite programs came on. It is called "Everything Creative" and talks about everything! Things you wouldn't have even thought would be considered creative. The very first episode I heard was a panel of non-profit organization starters or CEO's. It was so neat to hear their stories and what they go through in the process of making the world a better place for everyone, specifically the less fortunate. Back to the point - Last night's episode was a panel of bloggers. It was so inspiring to hear why they write their blogs and the release it gives them. It made me want to come back to my blog and really write about something meaningful.

So I logged on tonight (which I hadn't done probably since May) and proceeded to catch up on all the blogs I love to follow. That inspired me even more! But really I feel like I don't have much to say that other people would be interested in reading. I need a theme. I've decided that my blog is not going too be worth anything if there is nothing consistent about it.

So here is my plea: Help me come up with a theme for my blog. I'll be thinking of one as well but would love your input! I promise I will include pictures on every blog because I know i enjoy reading blogs with pictures more than I enjoy reading blogs without pictures.
