Another off hand comment got stuck in my mental playlist yesterday. It made me realize how true it is that the most meaningful things we ever think/say are done so unaware and it is less likely the things we intend to effect will effect quite as much as the other filler stuff will.
Anyhow, that being said, the thought was that these little posts are never intended to have any effect or be noticed, really, but these words might be written precisely for you though I was truly oblivious. So many others have told me things like, "you have no idea..." To "You must understand what you are doing..." Truth is, I am just doing what nature dictates, I do not write with any intention of effecting others for good or ill, sorry. But, just think of your favorite novel, does the hero have any concept of you or effects his/her choices will have on you? No. That is proposterous. Likewise, I have no notion of you, or even me and how things will play out, but I will continue to record it.
Some other thought branches:
1) Journals make wonderful movies.
2) A man mentioned recording things without knowing why. Later someone told him it was work of the spirit of Elijah like Malachi spoke of.
3) the scripture in the book of Mormon that says something like, "I write to you as if you were here, but you are not."
I do not know how to include this thought, but. I need to record an event. It is very important to me to seek out how to and do whatever is necessary to take family names to the temple as was challenged by our stake to do so as soon as the Ogden Temple reopens!
