Really? Another Blog?

Recently, I was looking for a fresh approach for scripture study, and came across this woman's blog and scripture journals:

Seriously, this woman is amazing.  There's a ton of wonderful things on her blog.  And she just single-handedly gave me a huge inferiority complex because I will never make anything that artistic, comprehensive, and lovely!  But it's not about comparing ourselves to others, right?  It's about doing our best and getting into the scriptures every day.  That's the goal.  Someday I may venture into a more complex scripture journal, but for now, it's about baby steps.

So I decided that I can do my own version of a scripture journal and I really like the idea of a blog because it's easy to turn into a book when I want to and I like typing better than writing.  I may eventually decide to do a paper journal as well, but for now I decided to start this blog.  I plan to use it like Nephi used his small plates.  As a place to record impressions, personal revelations, blessings, favorite scriptures, quotes, conference talks, or anything else that strikes a spiritual chord.  The desire to do this came from the following quote from Elder Neal A. Maxwell:

“The prompting that goes unresponded to may not be repeated.  Writing down what we have been prompted with is vital.  A special thought can be lost later in the day through the rough and tumble of life.  God should not, and may not, choose to repeat the prompting if we assign what is given such a low priority as to put it aside.” 

 As with my family blog, who knows how often it will get updated, but at least I have a place to record things.  It's a start!
