It's a small world

So today I was reading through some blogs. I use the rss feeds of blogs and really scan through a lot of them. If a title catches my eye, I click on it and then go to the whole article.

So I'm scanning through and see a title "Mormon's are Pretty" and of course that caught my eye...

So I clicked on it and start reading. The author is not LDS, and has just through blogs been exposed to lots of LDS members. She talks about how she has noticed that a lot of them are just very pretty and then talks about one specific blog that is a family of 4 girls that are all beautiful. She then links to the blog. I'm reading along and I'm like "I know that blog!". It's a friend of mine in our ward, so I jotted off a little email to her to let her know about the link.

She was surprised and had never commented on that blog, but reads it and once had linked to it in one of her blog posts. Apparently the author of the other blog keeps track of who links to her, and has been reading her blog all this time.

So... something like this could happen and it is a reminder that what we put on our blogs is viewable to others. It can make us decide to keep blogs private, which is fine. I think it also can allow us to realize that we are having an impact in people's lives. I can write something on here, that through some randomness is read by someone and it causes them to sit up and realize that yes I'm LDS, and I'm still a normal person. I have struggles, and I have highs and lows. That I've choosen to live my life and strive to follow the teachings of my church, and that it's not a blind choice, but one that I've choosen to make and am happy with my decisions to do so.

So.... I'm reading and apparently I use the word "So..." a lot... lol! I'll try to stop using it as much. :)
