Random Thoughts

I have found a short purpose for my blog. A friend from church today, let me borrow this book titled MEE Thinks by Mary Ellen Edmunds. Basically it is random thoughts from an every day person and she starts off each thought with "I was thinking?" What I plan to do is to think with her, and respond to her thoughts with my own.

Today's thought is how Mary began describing her home, for a event called Parade of Homes, which usually discusses the architecture of the homes in her area. She points out the things that makes her house a home, the peach tree in her yard, the little things she has hanging around to remind her of her relationship with the Savior, friends, and her family. I found this interesting, since the dust accumulation (Im the only one that cleans out of five of us), is a pet peeve of mine. So I started to think of the things that make the house I live in a home. This includes the corner in the living room where our very worn out artificial Christams trees stands aglow every Christmas. It includes the photos on the mantel, it includes my bedroom that serves as my sactuary from time to time, and among other things, it includes those that I somehow love unconditionally. And since I do not dust, sweep or mop on Sundays, I will take a deep breath and allow these thoughts to get me through the "messiness" of today.

So in the words of MEE (Mary Ellen Edmunds).....What do you think?
