Relief Society and Pics of Megans Visit

 

I love Relief Society, I always have.  Last night was our night time activity.  It was all about journals. She talked about all the different ways we could Journal.  Also they talked about the importance of talking about the things of the world, what we eat, our lives, family, Spiritual expediences, just about anything you can think of. One of the ideas of course was blogs.  I thought about how I love blogging and I love reading them.  I have gotten out of the habit and I realized again it is important.  Of course you could just keep a private journal, but blogging it seems to me brings a broader view like the suggestions of what should be included in a journal.  I will always have a personal journal, but again was reminded for me the importance of the blog, because it includes pics, recipes, more everyday things.  I don't include those kind of things generally in my personal journal.  I was reminded of what I have been thinking about lately, having had way too much time to think in the last month and a half, how our society has tried to find easier and shorter ways to communicate.  That can be a good thing, but if we are not careful we won't be communicating.  Before Cell phones and especially texting and facebooking, people talked on the phone more, or got together more.  Today we seem to try to find ways to get around a phone call or visit.  We tend to think we are too busy, but yet we seem to find time to watch movies or TV.  I am grateful for all the technology, but I think it is important to not get in such a hurry to get done with people that we don't communicate at all.  So the long and the short of it, the speaker asked us to make a small goal to journal in some way.  My small goal it to blog at least once a week.  I am so far behind that it inhibits me from blogging.  But no more!  So you might see random older pics and that is okay too.  Plus I feel like it keeps us all in touch and we feel more a part of each others lives.  I am glad Megan discovered face time, I have wanted us to do that more as a family, her world is forcing us into it.  I'm glad.   I'm going to include some pics of when Megan and Jakes family were here. Love you All!
