Now I know what you're thinking- didn't Linda try to start a blog like six months ago and it was the most pointless decision she ever made? Yes, that's very true and an embarrassing time in my life that I try not to think about:) BUT, if anyone is willing to give me a second chance at this crazy blogging business, I would like to explain why I'm so determined to succeed this time around.
At Brigham Young University where I go to school, we are required to take a religion class on the New Testament. In my section (shout out to Bro Griffin for just being the greatest darn teacher around!), we are required to do a semester long project that somehow betters us as people by increasing our testimony in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For my project, I have decided to read Jesus the Christ by James E. Talmage and blog about my experience once a week.
This book is like a bajillion and five pages long and discusses the the life and mission of Jesus Christ. I've been wanting to read this book for a while now, and I figure that this is the perfect opportunity!
I know that I'm connected many people who are unfamiliar with the doctrines of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (aka the MORMONS). I promise my goal with this blog is not to push my beliefs on you or convince you that you're going to Hell. That's definitely not my goal here! I want nothing but sunshine and rainbows for all of you :) I've just realized recently how many of my friends know that I am Mormon but have no idea what that means, and I'd like to clear that up.
So please, if you have any questions about anything I post, please let me know. The whole point of this project is to help people understand why this Church is such a huge part of who I am and how I live my life. If I do unintentionally offend you, please let me know that as well. I would be devastated if my thoughts were hurtful to anyone and I couldn't clear things up.
Anyway, personally, I'm really super duper pumped about all of this!
Have a lovely Sunday!
