Women are from Mars...

Dear Readers,

So I randomly asked my brother and his friend what I should write about today and they suggested girls, followed by the top ten reasons men don't understand women. I can sum it in one: Men are stupid. They laughed at this comment and my brother agreed. So, why is it men and women are so different? I'll try to come up with some differences.

1. Women are much more effective when it comes to communication. I once heard a funny phrase about the fastest way to speak an idea, "Telegraph, Telephone or tel-a-woman." Although this is meant to mock women, the idea couldn't portray more truth. Women are great communicators and can spread any kind of news like wildfire. I'm pretty sure the origin of this speed can be found in the ancient tradition of going to the restroom in herds. Not to mention, when guys get together they usually only discuss three things: women, sports and their choice between cars, sleep or food. Thus, women are much more informed.

2. Men participate in pretty pointless activities. Women have hobbies similar in nature, but no where close in number. Racing cars, sporting tournaments, etc, are all pretty pointless. Yes, sports keep men in shape, but there is no reason to base an entire month off of basketball. Watching these sports on television dominates the list in idleness. I love sports, but they have so many needless applications.

3. Chick-flicks. Now, I would like to ask a question. What classifies a chick-flick? Women love them. Men hate them. I love them(Except for "Win a date with Tad Hamilton," that movie has a terrible flavor). Until that receives a good answer, I will let your imagination give an in-depth description of the different genders' opinions.

4. I have kind of the same policy about what men and women think about love. Women strive for it and men...to be quite honest, I don't know what men think. Although, I enjoy the comedy sketch by Shaun Rapier about the BYU Board with Wedding rings and dresses. Watch that to find another explination of how men and women are different.

5. Women take forever to get ready. Case and point: I had to be over to a rehearsal at 10 this morning. I got up at 9:45 and was still there with five minutes to spare. Also in my house this morning was one of my brother's female friends. She appeared to been up for about an hour when I was running out the door and she was still in the bathroom straightening her hair. Women take forever. Especially at dances. They need about 3 hours. Although, I love the song entitled, "Waitin' on a woman." It points out that men don't mind anticipating the girl's arrival.

There are many more differences, but if we were to explore them all I would be here all night. I can't pretend to even begin to know them all. So, Curtis, you and your girlfriend should feel honored I took my subject from your inspiration. :)

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...

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 Don't Wanna Be Anything Other Than Me

Dear Reader,  I work online at one of my part-time jobs. Sometimes it is required of me to look up a person's credentials or accomplishments to better fill out a description of their time on the radio. This means I do Google searches quite frequently to find their websites, their social media profiles, etc. By no means am I a guru on the world wide web, but I have been around the internet a few times. Why does any of this matter to you, reader? It matters because I have found a few things that are essential to being safe online. As much as anyone hates to admit, the persona built on the web greatly affects the actual person outside of technology. It matters because we need to review the tips on how to remain safe online regularly.  Here is a quick example of how important it is to monitor what you put online. If you put "Dale Lundstrom" into a Google search, there are 743 results as of today. A good number of those have nothing to do with me, it's true. Howe...
