"Here I go again on my own..." - White Snake
I have made so many first posts to blogs that I then did not follow through on it is almost sad. Having said that, I have high hopes for this blog. It gives me a chance to journal, which I know I should do but I am not very diligent at, and keeps me honest about my daily scripture study, which I know I should do but I am not very diligent at.
So first: Introductions -
My name is Brian. I am a late-20s::early-30s Mormon that lives in Carrollton Texas. I have a wife I have been married to for 5 years and 2 cats. No kids at this point, making us something of a statistical anomaly amongst Mormon families, but we are happy with the life we have now, and if we end up with something else later I am sure that will be wonderful as well.
Second: Purpose -
Why am I writing a blog?
Well, the new year is just a month away, and I have decided to once again rededicate myself to reading the scriptures. It is something that I really want to do, but I am nervous about, because my track record for scripture study has not been stellar, like, ever.
But that is where this blog comes in. I will be making regular posts here with my thoughts of what I have learned from my studies. By posting the notes publicly I hope to give myself some feeling of responsibility to get it done, essentially build in a sense of accountability.
Will it work? Who knows. But we will find out together. I have a planned schedule of posting, but I am going to keep that close to the vest for now because I don't know if it is reasonable. Suffice it to say it will fall somewhere between daily and weekly.
So that's the plan for 2012. In the mean time I will use the blog as a sounding board and to post general spiritual thoughts....and just generally see what happens.
So let's see what happens.
