When you count you begin with 1,2,3...when you sing you begin with Do-Re-Mi

Dear Reader!

When I wrote last night I realized that it was my 299th Blog Post. What does that mean? Of course it means this post is number 300! Yay! I couldn't wait to bump it up to that great number, so I'm writing two days in a row. 300 Blog posts means almost 200 song titles for the Blog titles and about 200 experiences/insights over the past few years. Those numbers are in the 200s because while on my mission I didn't write the posts myself, so not many of them have song titles or are extremely detailed.

To honor this great event, I wanted to share a list of things I am fairly certain I have done more than 300 times in my lifetime. This list is weird and skiwampus, but hopefully it makes you laugh because of how funny I am. There's number one: I'm pretty sure I have been very prideful more than 300 times in my life. Haha.

I have:
- Walked to/from Elementary school over 300 times
- Walked to/from Junior High over 300 times

- Practiced over 300 hours of Trumpet
- Sang over 300 songs every year of my life (That one may be closer to 300 songs every month of my life)
- Kissed over 300 Girls (Just kidding. I'm not even close to that one...nor do I ever hope to be)
- Been to church over 300 times
- Danced over 300 times with a partner
- Slept over 300 times in my life (That's actually an accomplishment for me)
- Eaten over 300 pounds of Cheese
- Gone to the temple over 300 times (I think, if my math is correct)
- Smiled at a girl I love over 300 times
- Been mad at my Brother over 300 times
- Forgiven my Brother over 300 times

- Asked 300 dumb questions
- Made 300 mistakes
- Fixed 300 mistakes
- Thanked my Heavenly Father for helping me through the day 300 times
- Read the Book of Mormon in less than 300 days
- Wished I could start over on 300 different projects
- Wanted to run away 300 times
- Wanted to stay forever in 300 moments
- Tried to forget over 300 things that hurt
- Owned over 300 Pokemon cards at one time
- Never purchased an item over $300
- Sat on 300 different couches
- Talked to over 300 people who said they have no time for God
- Watched over 300 doors close on my face
- Played the piano over 300 hours
- Let 300 days pass with Praying and giving thanks
- Prayed 300 days straight for something I wanted
- Tried over 300 times to Share the Gospel
- Prayed over 300 hours in less than 3 months (Sticking with the 3 idea)

As you can see, there are lots of 300s in my life. I might add to this list when the 400th post goes up, but I might wait until 500. I don't know. Hopefully you can see what is important to me. I hope it is also clear that I have not accomplished a whole lot in my lifetime, but we are just starting out. Happy 300! It is a great number.

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...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

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...
