Decide today to be better!

I changed by blog postings to the most recent posted so it doesn't take so long to keep up on everyone's blogs.  I came across my niece Emily's post "3 minutes with the Spirit".  I was having one of those days where I had been sick and everything was falling apart (you know how it does when mom is not at the top of her game).  I can't say that I felt the Spirit today until tonight when I watched this 3 minute video.  It made me want to be better and try harder and to never give up. 
 Last April at Brittney & Randy's graduation from BYU-Idaho Elder Ballard talked about the power in blogging.  I was surprised to listen to his whole talk about the positive power of the computer in terms of blogging to spread the gospel.  Whenever the General Authorities usually talk about the internet it is in a negative way.  Well Elder Ballard's talk was just the opposite. His talk was what inspired me to create a blog.  Thanks Emily for reminding me of why I started my blog to begin with.  I hope your day goes better by watching this 3 minute video.
