Pondering

Welcome to my blog. I've never kept a blog consistently, but I'm hoping to change that. This blog will mainly be filled with my thoughts and opinions, usually ones that stay in my head for a while. Who knows, I might include some other stuff, too. We'll just have to see. Please let me know if you have any thoughts or suggestions for me!

I've titled my blog "Ponderings". I don't think it's a real word, but that doesn't matter to me all that much. I served as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I really grew to appreciate pondering and realize how important it is. To ponder to to think deeply or meditate on something. This is essential in our lives. When we ponder, we are more open to the whisperings of the Spirit and can be better lead to know what to do, or we can simply just receive more light and truth. Too often, we let the world distract us. We are busy people with busy lives, and, when we do have free time, we often don't want to spend it trying to think about stuff. But, if we do so, we find that life can be more full and richer and lots of other good qualities. Does it take effort? Of course. But doesn't everything that's worthwhile?
