For those of you who have nothing else to do during work…
These games were shown to me by… You know, maybe I shouldn’t say. I don’t want to incriminate him. He’s a good man, and he does his job well.

Yeah right! I swear, we’ve gotta do something about the spamming. It’s a waste of time, and it takes up way too much bandwidth, which could be better spent surfing the web.

Legos — More than a brick!
I’ve come to learn, and rather quickly too, that you can never win when you start a statement like… “When I was your age…”
Someone else will always “one-up” ya. But, despite my own warning…
How come Legos weren’t this cool when I was a kid?

Keeping up with the childish behavior…
We’ve all played this game before during class or outside during recess. I found it on someone else’s blog, and thought I would pass it along.

I’m curious; therefore, I poll!
What is the average age of the people reading this blog?
I’ve got no idea. So, take two seconds to answer the question in the side bar. —>
Thanks!

Wanting to Believe
A reader asked if I could answer the following question: “Can you write about the difference between true believing and wanting to believe when it comes to religion?”
And though I tend not to cover the topic of religion on my blog (I subscribe to the philosophy that every person as the right to believe “how, where, or what they may.”) I figured this question is broad enough in scope that it could benefit all.
As many of you know, I follow the faith and teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. What I write here are my feelings (My Opinion, if you will). For anyone interested in finding out what it is I believe, I would direct you to go to an official Web site of the Church – my posts are my opinions.
The way I see it is wanting to believe is merely the first step in actually believing. There are those who, believing comes easily. However, that shouldn’t discourage someone form wanting to believe – hope. Hope is the initial seed of faith: regardless of religion.
You know, I read a great chapter of scripture that answers this question – chapter 32 of the Book of Alma found in the Book of Mormon. Even if you’re not Mormon, it helps distinguish having faith and desiring to have faith.
I hope that helps (without being preachy).

Mile Higher Education
I figure this post is quite fitting since today is the longest day of the year.
While on a recent flight home from my Florida business trip, I was seated next to a mother and her young son. Just as we were landing at Salt Lake International Airport I overheard the following conversation:
Young boy: Mom. What time is it in Utah?
Mom: A quarter to nine.
Young boy: Wow! It’s still light outside.
Mom: That’s because Utah is closer to the equator than Florida.
Young boy: Cool!
Mom: Yep. In fact, we should be pretty close to that Summer Solstice line you’ve been learning about in school.
And we wonder why today’s youth are struggling in school.
I wonder where/if she graduated from college?

2008 Daytime Emmy Faux Pas
Did anyone else catch Tyra Banks verbal faux pas during her Emmy acceptance speech for her talk show? I swear… I guess the writers’ strike continues.
As she was saying her thanks, and recognizing everyone who helped her along the way, she thanked her mother. She said, and I quote, “I wanna thank my mama for her perspiration, and doing everything she could to instill power inside of me.”
Did I hear that right? Perspiration? Since when did perspiration instill power?
Or do you think she meant to say persistence? Or perseverance?
Do You Like Paying High Gas Prices?
So, I’m not about to tell you what to do, or how to think. But, I can across this electronic petition about high gas prices, and thought I would pass it along.
Look at it before you sign your name to anything.
Like I said, I’m not endorsing anything; just letting you know what I find online. You make you own decision if you want to participate.
