An Introduction

I was sitting at home today, pondering on what I could do to make my Sabbaths more significant to me. Having a day of rest is great, but I wanted to find some way to condense more spirituality into the day; to turn my thoughts to something more appropriate. The decision to make this blog came, partly as a culmination of things I've been thinking on for months, or perhaps years, and perhaps partly out of inspiration.

I feel this introduction is important, because this blog, while seemingly otherwise, will vastly be for my own benefit. Like all good things, I hope they may be of some use to others, but I don't expect to change anyone's heart, or even really be heard.  For that reason, I do not expect or intend to turn this into a source for apologetics. There are already plenty of places to go for that, namely http://www.fairlds.org and http://www.fairmormon.org. Ipso facto, this site will probably take a swing toward something vastly different than conventional apologetics.

In an attempt to be slightly more concise, this blog is intended for two things: to put my musings down in a semi-permanent location where I can access them for future thoughts, and to allow access to people that know me, intimately or otherwise, to gain insight into how I think on certain topics.

One last disclaimer for any future readers: I am fully aware that no amount of reason can cause a person to join this church; you cannot join by agreeing with it, only by believing in it. Belief is the driving force behind reason, and I cannot provide that. I can, however, perhaps provide a new way of looking at things.
