After face planting while going up the stairs for the second time in a row, I find myself wondering exactly why my legs won't hold me up after a good work out. 3 reps of squats with an embarrassingly small amount of weight and I'm prostrate for the rest of the day...

There has been a lot of talk in the LDS community, as expected, following the passing of President Gordon B. Hinckley. He was a deeply loved and respected leader. He did wonders for The Church and touched millions of lives. As much as I would love to think I can write a tribute that does justice, I cannot, so I'm not going to try. But I do feel a lot of gratitude for his service. I am very curious to watch President Monson, his successor, as the mantle falls to him. President Monson is also a highly respected leader. Although I must admit that, being one who responds more to directness, I don't connect with President Monson's teaching style like I do that of, say, President Eyring, regardless, I suspect we will see the continuation and implementation of many great things under President Monson's inspired watch. In fact, I watched him speak last Saturday at the leadership training broadcast. His talk was a 100% President Monson talk, stories and all, but something about him was different. Whether it was my perceptions or otherwise, he looked like the prophet, and that is pretty cool!

Argh... I'm realizing that now that the newness of blogging has worn off, I'm getting about as good at it as I am at journal writing. I think about it. I think, "oh, I should do that" and I mean well, but ... well, you can see just how good my track record is!! But with a new year, comes new resolve. And it's only taken me a month to make that resolve. We'll see just how long it takes me to follow up on it! (But, hey, I'm all caught up on my studies for next weeks midterms...)
