some thoughts on the purpose of this blog

The reasons for this blog are three-fold:

1. The internet is a real nice place to waste time. I myself have wasted many an hour looking up relatively trivial things and even writing relatively trivial things. Basically mr. internet provides me with something to keep my eyes busy when I‘m looking for excuses to not be productive yet. And for this I’d like to thank Mr. internet for entertaining me on many an occasion and for allowing me to procrastinate my productivity. The internet may or may not serve this purpose for you, but anyway if we’re going to spend our time reading stuff on the internet anyway, why not make it spiritually uplifting stuff?

2. It really helps me in my personal study of the scriptures (Bible, Book of Mormon, etc) if I can have a theme to think about and if I have to write about it. I’m finding my mind is more on spiritual things through the week and this is pleasing to me. So, this blog provides me with a way to record some of the thoughts I have throughout the week an in my study of the scriptures. Thanks blog.

3. God told me to.

So there you go. Anyway, if you’re reading this, you probably are aware of the fact that I’m a mormon. If you are not, I hope this won’t discourage you from reading, as my honest desires listed above apply to all people, not just those who share a similar faith. The end.
