My Goal is that this year I will study the scriptures for scripture study as opposed to Blake Ostler, Terryl Givens, etc. |
Do not delete your personal blog. Do not, unless you want people who click on links to it to find themselves viewing porn. If you decide to stop personal blogging, just do a last post with a link to this blog. Otherwise, the address will be open and next thing you know it will roll over to a porn site, or to spam advertising (if you are lucky). Everyone who just deletes a blog should be forced to view what moves into the space at least once a week. Otherwise, I’m supportive of your goals and resolutions. |
Okay, thanks, Stephen, I’ll take that under consideration. Perhaps I’ll have to find another way. I’ve just felt so stressed and more obligated with it and it’s redundant since I post here anyway. I’m going to read the Book of Mormon, as well, Matt. Only once did I read with real purpose and I did get a lot out of that spiritually. All the rest of the time, I’ve just been obedient and reading is easy for me. I guess that could be another resolution, because this year I want to find God, I want to feel closer to Him and accept His love. Al-Anon and AA teaches a lot about turning our lives over to God’s will, surrendering, as CS Lewis puts it. I want to find that. I’m trying to figure out that subtle but crucial difference between “this is what I want” and “what do you want?” |
annegb, just make a last post that says:
Or something similar. People will understand. Lots of writers do that when they move to prevent link rot and spam squatters. Best wishes, Stephen |
annegb–I wish you success with your goals for ’08. For goal number 9 I have an article posted on my blog that you might be interested in, Harold B Lee on Meditation. You said: “I’m going to ask God what He wants me to do and I’m going to listen.” I’ve been thinking and writing about listening to God. I have several ideas on my blog that might be of interest to you. I’ve always thought that the listening part of prayer was the least difficult. Asking is the more challenging part of prayer, in my opinion. I figure if we ask in the spirit, then God will make sure we understand His answer. If you go to my blog, be sure to read Gene R. Cook’s challenge. To go to my blog click my name above. |
Mine: - Get my dissertation to 80% complete (middling around 20% right now) I have a couple of other work- and health-related goals as well, but the main ones are above. |
Welcome back Mormon Mentality. |
I am going to try to learn to draw this year. I am expanding a lot of my previous years goals including those in the areas of my independent studies. I am actually planning on making more public blog enteries than I usually do this year. I have a friend with a forum where I have the title “author” and will be blogging there. I also hope to learn some important life skills. :) |
