General Conference is This Weekend

I absolutely love listening to General Conference. You can view it at http://lds.org/, too!

It's a wonderful time to listen to the Prophet and Apostles. You can feel the love of God through their words. I know that there is a Prophet on the earth today. I know God speaks to the Prophet, who is Thomas S. Monson. Please listen, it's wonderful.

I love these uplifting videos.

 - God has done so much for us. Christ did so much for us. We may never understand.

The inspiration

I heard on a program about a book I could get for free.

It's a program to get up an hour earlier each morning for 30 days.

Hello internet, again...

So I used to own a domain name and didn't have the money to keep it.

I didn't use it either, so it is now gone. I could have used wordpress (another blogging site, but it is ridiculously slow) and I could have bought the domain name back, but have no money. Two kids, new house, college grad = lots of debt.

I have been thinking that I need to share my thoughts and feelings with the world. I may not be able to change the world, but I hope to make you day a little brighter and your understanding a little better.

I'm not sure what I will post about on this blog, but I feel like I need to. You may see a few developments in the beginning, but please listen to what I have to say. A person said of me once, "You know you need to listen to Michael when he talks, because doesn't say anything unless it's important."

So there are about four different things I have thought about posting about. Religion, government, how religion shows that a republic works best, how to do certain things (grow strawberries, keep a good garden, etc.), and/or what I could accomplish if I woke up 30 minutes to an hour earlier. I'm leaning towards the last. For one, I really don't know anything better than anyone else. The things I know about won't help people become a better person, although maybe in another blog.

I think I will start with the last option and give you updates as I go. I keep getting drawn to this one. That way I could kind of involve all the different ideas I have.

Disclaimer: If I start a phrase with 'Ya know...' or 'Think about it this way...', that means it's going to be political. I will end most of my posts with my love for my family and for God, who gave me everything, including my family.

I want God to guide me in this and feel that if I listen, He will. He is there helping us, guiding us.

I pray for all of you.
