The blog is back, twerps!
As we all know*, I'm the worst journal-er on the planet. Awful. Terrible. But I'm always thinking to myself, "Self, if you don't start keeping a record of your life, your future grandchildren aren't going to have the privilege of knowing about your life!" And then I think, "Maybe that's a good thing..."
*You probably actually don't know that, unless you stalk me and try to read my rarely-written-in journal
So, anyway, I'm starting this baby up for a couple reasons:
1. I'm also terrible at keeping in touch with people/responding to people who reach out to me. So lookie here and read all about my life.
2. Posterity deserves to know about this. Maybe they'll find solace in knowing that their great-whatever-grandmother Jenna Michelle was a freakin' weirdo.
3. In my Doctrine & Covenants class, we had to pick a doctrine to study for the semester, somehow keep a log of applying that doctrine to our lives, and then make a physical product of it. I'm hoping this blog can count as my log and physical product.
So, what's the project, Jenna?
Well, the doctrine I picked was Love. Specifically, Godly Love and how we can have it for other people. Like many others, I tend to be very secretly judgmental. Or maybe not secretly. Whatever. But I have a habit of getting really annoyed with people for very little reason, and I don't often just give second chances. That's what I'm trying to change. I've been making a conscious effort to find the good in all people- to attempt to see them as God does, and love them as He would.
So, people of the internet, with you as my witness, I vow to be more loving of all people from this day forward. Even the guy sitting next to me, who is playing his music really loudly. I love him, because I'm sure I've been the person with my music too loud many, many times. But I love him mostly because if I try hard enough, I can begin see him through God's eyes, and he is a wonderful and eternal being, with incredible and unimaginable divine potential.
So people, I am officially declaring Wednesday, as of October 30, 2013, as Loveday*.
Get pumped, people.
*I mean, I guess every day should really be Loveday. But you know, I'm just gonna blog about it on Wednesdays. Love people every day and stuff. That's a good thing.
I love you Jenna! I think this is a great idea. Live what you LEARN! I like your weirdo side comments, they make me smile.
