Obedience through Blogging

Elder Ballard recently spoke at BYU-Hawaii's graduation ceremony, and told the graduates that they should participate in the "New Media", especially blogs. One salient quote is:
Now, to you who are graduating today, along with the other students at this wonderful university, may I ask that you join the conversation by participating on the Internet, particularly the New Media, to share the gospel and to explain in simple and clear terms the message of the Restoration. Most of you already know that if you have access to the Internet you can start a blog in minutes and begin sharing what you know to be true. You can download videos from Church and other appropriate sites, including Newsroom at LDS.org, and send them to your friends. You can write to media sites on the Internet that report on the Church, and voice your views as to the accuracy of the reports.
So in the spirit of Elder Ballard's speech to BYU-Hawaii grads, let's actively blog here about what's going on in our lives and in the world, what we find interesting or uplifting, and what our plans, dreams, and aspirations are. Happy blogging!
