journaling

The events that unfolded after I got home from work all started with me saying "hey dude, do you want to go to the store with me? I need to buy more journals" Not all that exciting I know,  but there is just something about journals that make me happy.

Like I've said before on this blog. I can rarely be caught without a journal buried somewhere in my bag or sitting in the car I'm driving. You never know when you are going to hear a magnificent quote that will change your life that will never be remembered if you don't write it down. Not kidding. Every time I leave my journal home this happens to me.

My journals are also the outline for everything you read on this blog. They are the notes I take on life before I publish my work. They are my thoughts. And I love them.

I didn't accuire this love for journals on my own. It started with EFY and the fact that my dad always has a journal open during church meetings. I just hope that with keeping these journals I can someday grow to be like these two men that where quite possibly some of the greatest dudes in history.

Great dude #1. His name was Nephi. Nephi kept two journals. One was a journal that held a record of the genealogy of his people and the other was a record that contained more spiritual things. (1 Nephi 19)

Great dude #2. His name was Joseph Smith. Read about Joseph Smiths journals HERE. Because "[They] are among the most important records that help us understand him and the development of the Church during his life."


Journals are cool



feel my sunlight



p.s. I also bought sticky notes today, but can't think of anywhere in the scriptures where sticky notes are important so I guess you will just have to take my word for how great they are.
