"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of these meaningful and significant things. Some of them may be funny. Some may be of significance only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience." ~President Gordon B. Hinckley
"To you women of today, who are old or young, may I suggest to you that you write, that you keep journals, that you express your thoughts on paper. Writing is a great discipline. It is a tremendous education effort. It will assist you in various ways, and you will bless the lives of many--now and in the years to come, as you put on paper some of your experiences and some of your musings."
-President Gordon B. Hinckley
I also think of the scriptures as a journal. I Nephi... it seems to follow his life and it seems to me to be very similar to a journal in many aspects and many of the experiences. Especially the part in 2 Nephi 4 15-35 very cool.

oh, very good, very good indeed... I so much agree with the therapy of writing, but it's also great to go back from time to time reading what I wrote so many years ago.
Cool, Chris. I've been writing less and typing more. I want to journal, but sometimes it feels like it takes forever. This is good to remember!!
Hey Chris!
I love that thought about the scriptures!
I think Nephi really gets down and out in "the psalms of Nephi"... and you totally quoted that.
Can't help but think of those MTC days of us all sitting in a circle in those desks, and going around and sharing something that stood out when we read the book of mormon that morning.
Ah, the days!
I actually stole the quote from suzannes page. I do not know how to put a link to a specific spot on a page in the blog.
Suzanne yes I do remember those times with great fondness. One day I hope to once again enter the MTC only this time as a couple.
