cool work stuff

hey blog! guess what! i have a cool thing to tell you! can you guess what it is? no? you can't? well i'll just tell you then. so i work, right? and people at work know i'm mormon and know my standards, and they totally respect that. cool right? well here's one better, and it's just a little thing, but i totally love it. so they know i don't cuss or use the Lord's name in vein, and here's what makes it cool- they don't use that sort of language about me. totally legit right?

i just think its so cool how little things like knowing someone's standards and what they're about can affect someone. its not like i asked them not to use those words around me, they just started doing it on their own. and that's whats cool.

when you make your values known, people are going to respect them generally. and they hold you accountable for them too. and that's a universal thing too. if you tell them one thing, they're gonna expect that from you. but if you tell them one thing, and do another, that's going to reflect poorly on you. and in this instance it would also reflect poorly on my faith.

i really feel like a representative of Christ, and i didn't even know it. haha that sounds dumb, but i've never really felt that way before. that my actions don't just affect me. man that sounds immature, but i am, so what can i expect, right? haha

anyway, that's it. its awesome. and i'm glad to see good things happening, and i'm glad to be progressing towards where i want to be, and where i know the Lord wants me to be.

the end.

tender mercies

Dear blog,

I woke up late for work today, so i was rushing to get ready and didn't have time to read my scriptures, so i was in a grumpy mood getting into my car and then i thought " i have a wealth of church material here with me on my phone!" So i plugged my droid x into my fm transmitter, and turned on Elder Holland's talk from general conference, and was on my way.

Never has my mood turned around quicker blog. I am forever amazed at how wonderful the gospel is, and how much the Lord will give you, as long as you give to him in return. Even small things like helping you to be in a better mood. That sort of stuff is just fantastic.

Thanks blog,
-robert

rest

Sometimes i am just tired. Of everything there ever was. And missing out on what i want most.

And dish water is ruining my hands.

Conference blog soon, i swear.

Dear blog,

There is nothing more humbling than being the worst at a work assignment. Today left me feeling inadequate, frustrated, and completely useless.

Fortunately i will be returning there, 40 hours a week, every week, till who knows when, and i'll have time to master all sorts of skills.

Sincerely,
Robert

a new direction

oh hi blog. so its kinda late right now and if i were calling someone this late to talk i would apologize for waking them, but i'm not, so i won't.

anyway the title is sorta a twofold meaning thing. meaning one is my life and meaning two is this blog.

as i strive to become a better person, and as i walk this path to where i want to go this blog will follow me. its gonna get all touchy feely and i'm gonna talk about spiritual matters. so if that sort if thing bothers you, feel free to leave. you can't say you haven't been warned. i like to speak my mind. i'm sure there will be good days and bad days, and hopefully this will be reflecting both. i want whoever reads this (if anybody does at all) to learn and grow from my experiences as much as i do.

got it? good.

im starting a journal too, but today i'll just write in here. while reading in 1st Nephi chapter 14, i came across some stuff that really moved me. in verse 14 it says: "and it came to pass that i nephi, beheld the power of the Lamb of God, that it descended upon the saints of the church of the Lamb, and upon the covenant people of the Lord, who were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and they were armed with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory."

and i distinctly knew as i was reading this that it was talking about our generation, and our people. and that through obedience to the commands of the Lord, and as was discussed in church today, with a willingness to obey and to be humbled before Him, He will pour out blessings upon us. so much so that we won't know what to do with it all, and he will help protect us from the storm that is the world.

we have been given a calling to stand on higher ground, and to live a worthy life. and as i take this journey i hope you will take it with me, or maybe just support me in mine. i have been waiting far too long to do what i should have already done, but i think maybe i'm better prepared for it, and ready to accept it.

so thanks for reading, i hope you stop by again.

we now return to the broadcast already in progress...

hello 6 blog followers. i don't know if i have any RSS subscribers, and i wouldn't even know how to check if i did. so from now on i will only be speaking to you 6, and any others that join you in reading my words of wisdom(nonsense).

that was a good blog entry intro, right? well too bad i thought of it last night, and then i can't think of anything good to follow it up with. i wish this whole entry was that amazing, but i don't think it will be able to happen. sorry.

well what else... hmm... here's a thing: i've been working hard on having a bunch of clothes made and ready for the fall time, but i'm a little nervous to show anyone. i'm fine with my skills on a sewing machine, but my skills and ideas when it comes to graphic design, and junk is what worries me. i hate feeling like i'm being judged, and i have a bunch of ideas that i love, and would be excited to see people wearing, but i don't know how they would be received. does that make sense? it does to me. suckers.

so what else... i have diabetes. no i don't. i probably shouldn't joke about that sort of thing... but they made jokes about Turk having diabetes on Scrubs, so its okay, right? right.

my computer can only stay on for like twenty minutes, so this is being written twenty minutes at a time... i'm easily distracted though, so its really like 7 minutes of typing and then a little fooling around, and then i go watch jimmy fallon. that's whats actually happening right now, because i'm the coolest.

speaking of which- i'm so cool.

i re-arranged my room. and took some posters off.

okay bye.

today

i was the 7th follow of chris roberts' new blog.

also i bond-oed a spot for skating later, and ate some food.


also i hate when people's second toe is longer than their big toe. it just freaks me out. not a good look.

i'm making hats, but i'm taking a break to blog and maybe take a shower.
it sounds like a good idea.

good day!
