Don't you worry 'bout a thing

Dear Reader,

Don't worry about a thing! Life is wonderful! Ok, so today I was watching "Hitch," the Will Smith-Comedy in which he plays a secret match-maker in New York City. The song title for the day comes from that movie. It really is a good movie. I was watching with some coworkers right after talking to them about marriage. Don't worry, I'm not getting married anytime soon. We were discussing different ways to propose and different things to avoid when planning a wedding. Final conclusion: I'm going to wear my purple tie at my wedding. Haha, we have so much fun.

It was a fun day with my coworkers. We went to Seven Peaks water park this morning and had a wonderful day in the water. I got a great sunburn. :) I have to shout out to Shannon and Kyle for being so awesome today.

When we actually got to work, my coworker and I started talking about chick-flicks and relationships. She has a wonderful outlook on getting married and it is understandable why she is not married yet. It has nothing to do with having the chances to get married, she just knows the caliber of man she wants to form a family with and she hasn't found a guy of that caliber yet. She gave me several good insights to better communicate with women. It was wonderful.

She also showed us a wonderful motivational video which I want to highlight here today. The main line of the video was, "You will be successful when you want to be successful more than you want to sleep. You will be successful when you you want to be successful more than wanting to breath." It was a motivational video that achieved its goal in helping me want to be more successful in life. I want to be successful spiritually and emotionally. I want to be successful financially and intellectually.

How true is it that we get distracted by lots of things that have nothing to do with what we really want. We can be successful people when we decide to work for what we want instead of partying all the time or trying to be popular. I will say right now: I want to be successful in my schooling and my relationships that will help me become a good husband/father. I want to be successful as a disciple of Christ. I want it more than I want to sleep. I want to prove that as well.

With that in mind, don't you worry 'bout a thing. Work hard with toward what you want. You will get it.

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

I like Happiness

Dear Readers, Happiness is great, don't you agree? Just the other night, it was a very frustrating and confusing night out with the Ensemble yet again, but I came back to my friend's house to hang out and just decided that being happy was more important than giving in to my gossiping desires. The rest of the night was just brilliant after I decided that. This morning was another example: I woke up late and was again frustrated. What did I do? I went to school and decided to be happy. The rest of the day went great! Be Happy! :D

Book of Mormon Stories

Dear Reader, Today I simply want to share a story that has strengthened my testimony of the Book of Mormon over the years. Professor Felix Mynhardt was fluent in many languages, including English, Afrikaans, Hebrew and Egyptian, as well as many others. He was employed as a language professor when he had been praying that the Lord would give him some divinely important task that would justify his having this gift of language from God. In 1970 he visited with a group of Mormon leaders, who sought to commission him to translate the Book of Mormon from English into Afrikaans. He said that he knew of the Book of Mormon from his religions studies, and his initial reaction was that he did not want to be involved in translating it. However, that evening, as he prayed upon his knees, as was his habit, he said the Spirit of the Lord convinced him. The message was something on the order of, "You asked me for a great, divinely inspired task of translation, I sent it to you in the form o...
