Rango

I watched Rango yesterday and was kind of disappointed. The movie ended well, but if I hadn't been watching it for an assignment I would have turned it off in the first 10 minutes. I don't recommend it.
This is a great blog! It was on the Deseret News, and I absolutely love it! It is very moving.

I love these kinds of stories on KSL that make you feel good and appreciate life.

I love the fact that you can go to Youtube and listen to almost every song ever created! It is so amazing!
I have been able to find songs that came out years ago that I wanted to listen to. You can find stuff you don't even know the name of. All this technology is inspired by God and makes our lives better.

Homeschooling

This is a really interesting article for me, because I have considered homeschooling my kids.

I just love these memes by the Church! I know people probably think I'm nuts, but I share these on Facebook because I really think they are effective in letting people feel Heavenly Father's love.

The marvels of nature are glimpses of #‎GodsLove for you.

Movies

This article in the Deseret News is really good. I totally agree about Hollywood. I can't wait to check some of these movies out.

Olympics

I really like the olympics. Every time they come around I remember how much fun it is to sit and watch it with my family. I used to love watching it as a kid. And you don't have to worry about the content, it is just wholesome family entertainment. And it's educational, and lots of kids get inspired to go into sports from watching the olympics.

Hope for Hawaii

I am doing research in another class about the justice system and I found this great article on how a judge in Hawaii is making great changes in the drug court system there. Here is the link:

I love that stuff like this is so available on the internet! It makes researching topics much easier.

Mitt

The documentary on Netflix about Mitt Romney looks so good. I wish I had Netflix so I could watch it.  
He seems like a really nice guy in real life.

Facebook

I love how the Church puts inspirational quotes on Facebook like this one, they really help me.

It seems that as soon as you get on the internet you are absolutely bombarded with information! Often this "news" is just trivial information, but there is so much of it it can be overwhelming! I sometimes don't even want to get on the internet because I know there is more information there than I know what to do with.

For anyone that doesn't know about her, Stephanie Nielson has a wonderful blog at nieniedialogues.blogspot.com. 
She is an amazing woman who was burned over 80% of her body in a plane crash but is a wonderful wife and mother and an inspiration to millions
She is a devout Mormon, and shares how her faith has helped her overcome her challenges. I have to say I think Stephanie is beautiful. To me there is something about her that makes her even more beautiful than before the plane crash.
What a wonderful use of media, to share her faith and be an inspiration to others!

I have been reading a series of articles on ksl.com about repairing your marriage. I have found these articles incredibly helpful and informative. I feel that articles like this can really help people in their relationships and their lives because they teach people how to deal with themselves and others in a positive way. Many people don't learn these skills at home, so I think it is great that there is all this information available to people so they can learn these relationship skills on their own.
Even if you are not married, this information can be really helpful in learning about how to deal with your own feelings about yourself and your future relationships.
