The No Camera Blues

Posted by Abby Marie at 12:43 PM

It's hard to have a blog and not have a digital camera. No worries, I'm going to use any money I get for my b-day and purchase a digital camera. It's about time. I need one especially for New Zealand, but it will be nice to have now too. Then my blog will be happenin' with all kinds of pictures. Deep down inside I am one of those camera happy people who like to take a thousand pictures of every outing. Unfortunately I have never had the right kind of camera to be camera happy on the outside. I tend to forget to bring my camera with me when I go places, which is another obstacle to becoming outwardly camera happy. I'll figure it out eventually.

Don't start. It's a slippery slope from disposable Kodaks to 1 million unprinted and unviewed digital photographs rotting on a hard drive.

I AM PECULIAR (this is a permanent post. If you have already read it, scroll down to see my latest)

Those of you who read my blog could probably make a list of all the reasons that you think I am a bit peculiar. No worries, I would be the first to shout an amen to everything you could think of. I know I’m peculiar; but let me tell you the number one thing on my list that I think makes me a peculiar person.

I know where I come from, why I am here and where I am going. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some of you will know me as a “Mormon” although that is just a nickname. The word ‘Saint’ just means ‘member’ in this context. I believe in God the Eternal Father, that I am a daughter of God, and that He loves me and wants me to be happy. I believe in my Savior Jesus Christ who lived a perfect life, atoned for my sins, died and was resurrected all that I might enjoy the blessing of being forgiven of my sins, and having my body and spirit reunited after death. I know that just as God called prophets in the Old and New Testament times that He has in fact called a prophet to lead and guide us today. I believe that families can live together for eternity; death does not have to be the end of our relationships with the ones we love. Some of you may wonder how on earth I can know these things. As I learn more and more from the Bible and other scriptures and actually live what I learn I see the promises the Lord has made being fulfilled in my life, and I feel the Holy Spirit bear witness that these things are true.

I know, I’m peculiar, but thankfully there are over 13 million other peculiar members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and with each year that number grows. I feel so much joy and happiness in my life because of this knowledge. If you want to know more depth about anything I have said that makes me peculiar, visit www.mormon.org. This website explains in detail much of what I have just professed to believe and more.
