My new amazing calling!!!

So a couple weeks ago I got a calling in my ward. It is pretty exciting and much needed for me to grow spiritually and get to know more people in my ward. I have been in my singles ward for over a year and still don't really know a lot of people. That is slowly changing however. So my calling is to be the Sacrament Meeting Program Coordinator... What a long title for a not very big calling. I get to type, print and pass out the bulletin every Sunday. It is kind of a challenge to see how everything is going to work together because I don't have the internet in my apartment and my printer doesn't work. Thank goodness that there is a library close by and that my parents are fairly close if all else fails. I am actually grateful for my calling. I really enjoy it and I get to use my schooling in some aspect of my life... even if it is a small aspect. I was so proud of how great yesterdays bulletin looked. It made my day. Yesterday was a good Sunday. I love feeling the Spirit and having happy feeling all day long. The Gospel is AMAZING!

A Thought from the Scriptures

I was reading today in Matthew 27 about Christ being judged by Pilate and verse 19 caught my eye...

"When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him."

I thought that it was interesting that his wife had something to say about the judgement if Jesus even if he didn't really listen to her. I also can't help but wonder what her dream was about because this dream was important enough for her to say something. She even called Jesus "a just man." I also wonder how much did she understand about what was taking place. Or was it that she understood nothing?

Oh I love technology...

Ever have those days that you hate technology? Sometimes it just gives us more work and things to fill up our already precious time. Especially on those days that you really need it to work... and it doesn't, of course. Those are the days that I feel like throwing my phone, computer and anything else within reach out the window. Technological equipment FAILS over and over again and yet we still rely on it for everything!!! WHY?

The Lovely Bones!

I am so excited! I heard that they are making a movie based on the book "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold. It is such a good book and I love it. I just hope that the book is done justice.
After being raped her freshman year of college and later telling her story in her first book entitled "Lucky." Ms. Sebold has overcome something that most of us don't want to even talk about let alone imagine.
The Lovely Bones is about a teenage girl that is raped and killed. The twist to the story is that she is the one telling the story from her heavenly home, so to speak, as she watches her friends and family cope and try to solve the mystery of her disappearance.
It is such a good book to shed some light on the psycho world that we live in and to remind us that we need to be aware of those around us. We may not always be able to trust the ones that we would like to, as sad as that may be. And often we trust those that we shouldn't a little too much.

Here's to my friends... You are the best!

A Glimps at My Poetic Genius

What You Do To Me

You use me and abuse me,
make me cry and scream,
ripped my world apart,
Now the seams are bursting
to my broken heart.
