For years, I have been into writing things in my head that I did not record for the most part in print. Since being exposed to the world of blogging, I think I engage in this practice even more. I write in my head at night in bed and in the morning before I get out of bed, while bathing, while talking to customers at work on the phone, while walking down the hall at work. <BR/><BR/>But it would be hard to decide what to write. Then, there is the expectation part. If I had an official blog of my own, people might expect something of me. I like to be more laidback than that. <BR/><BR/>I do have an unoffical blog that I have not written in for a time as I actually have this funny thing as you might tell about putting my thoughts in public on a blog. I make comments galore in regards to blogs, but I am shy about writing in blogs or drawing attention. If you want to read anything there, it is at ldscity dot com under what I think is the online journal section. I am Olivia86 there. Send me a pm sometime if you like. <BR/><BR/>I hope that I am not too terribly odd. :-\Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25138681.post-1163713548966627042006-11-16T13:45:00.000-08:002006-11-16T13:45:00.000-08:00I hate typos!

I liked that whole "peace be with you" meet your neighbor thing. <BR/>I know when my MIL comes to church with me she's distracted by the chaos that is an LDS sacrament meeting. But when I go with her to Episcopalian services, it's like a tomb. Their music is weird b/c the hymnbook is printed with only the melody.Elizabeth-Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12215621448451413460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25138681.post-1163590253468786602006-11-15T03:30:00.000-08:002006-11-15T03:30:00.000-08:00I think a lot of influence comes from how one is r...I think a lot of influence comes from how one is raised. There are older Catholics who prefer the Catholic Mass. My mom who was raised Lutheran would like the older Priest who reminded her more of an old time Protestant Minister rather than the younger Priests with a delivary that I would prefer.<BR/><BR/>I agree that there should be more reverence in Sacrament. Hearing the prelude music has become so special to me. I really like instrumental music now and the chords put me in a more Spiritual frame of mind. It seems that so many people visit in the Chapel prior and after where we were much more quiet and did not hold conversations usually with people. Fellowshipping is important, but we should be careful not to take away from our meetings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25138681.post-1163548150467985532006-11-14T15:49:00.000-08:002006-11-14T15:49:00.000-08:00Wow, great post Barb.

I think we are not a reverent enough people.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to ponder this.annegbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15037271914260019842noreply@blogger.com
