I'm gonna be a mighty king!

Dear Reader,

The song for today is not really associated with how I feel, but it comes close. I talked to my supervisor today at the Missionary Training Center and realized that I have a lot of influence of what goes on with our crew at work. She was asking me for all these suggestions about how things should be done and I was taken aback by how much my opinion matters. Our conversation today made me feel pretty important.

On the flip side of that conversation, we also talked about the changes that will be coming up in the coming weeks to different stations. I will most likely be working more and more upstairs in the Training Center, rather than in the laundry room where I have been forever. The laundry room is a good job, don't get me wrong. My supervisor will most likely move me to a different area of work, though. This line of thinking is all based on our conversation from today.

I also feel like I have a lot of influence because of my ward. I talk with a lot of people. It makes me smile to hear about the cool things people do in their lives. The feeling of importance I get comes from people asking about what they should do in certain situations, be it relationship advice or talking about job opportunities.

Yeah, life is good. I can't complain in the least bit. I just can't wait to be king!

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...

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

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've Been Watching You

Dear Reader, Our little boy has not even arrived yet and I am already feeling the pressure to a good example. All growing up, I was always told to never do anything that I wouldn't want my children to know about/do themselves. "Always be on your best behavior, your children will watch you." I will be honest, I have always agreed with that idea and I think it is a good way to live your life. However, I didn't feel the weight of that responsibility until my wife got pregnant. I feel like I am getting more and more pressure from myself to be a perfect example, even though this little boy hasn't even met me yet. That's why I am relating so much with this song right now. I know, this isn't too deep. I just wanted to share the song more than anything.
