So, I am creating this blog in response to the call of Elder Ballard in the Ensign to use the Internet to share ideas and stories with people. I like to write, and I sit at a computer all day long. I also have come to know certain truths in my life through experiences that I would like to share. I love to discuss things with people, though I don't know how many people will ever look at this blog. If you have any questions about me or what I think, I will be happy to discuss it with you.
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is something that touches everything I am and do. My fondest hopes for myself and my family center around Christ and I know that we can be together forever.
I am imperfect, and I am still learning about myself and the world around me. The more I learn the more I seem to be ignorant of. But there are some things that I have come to know as true.
I do not disparage anyone else's experience, needs, or beliefs. There is much that is good in everyone, and one of the things that I try to do is find the good in everyone and everything. But where there is something, there is usually something that is higher, more pure, more enlightening. My quest in life is to refine myself and my ideas to be more effective as a father, son, husband, and member of the Church.
I am not a leader of the Church. I am not representative of anyone or anything else. These ideas are my own, and I am fallible. Please look to the Lord, the Source of all truth, for the ultimate answers. I only offer what my experiences have given me. I hope that anyone who reads this will understand the spirit in which it is written.
This is also my personal blog. I have another blog for my professional ideas that I would send you to if you are interested in city planning or urban issues. Here I want to have an outlet for my personal ideas (religious, philosophical, etc). I find this convenient because I am thus able to help people (myself included) separate the world of the job and my personal life.
