Clever Words Can't Help Me Now

“I’m going to smile and make you think I’m happy, I’m going to laugh, so you don’t see me cry, I’m going to let you go in style, and even if it kills me - I’m going to smile." -Author Unknown



Hello everyone! Welcome to the last blog post I'll be making from a computer for a while. My grades last trimester were not satisfactory to what me and my parents like, so... I'm shutting down all computers in my control, and all video game devices. The only thing that I will probably be keeping, is my iPod, so I can at least TRY to make posts!

Anyways, today was nice! I had the devotional in Seminary, and I felt so bad because I had kind of forgotten it the day before. So, when I was told that I had it, I had this feeling I should talk about Kindness. So, when the time came, I got up there and used a scripture(which I've sadly forgotten at this time), and after that I used the experience where I was at the movie theater a couple of years back. At this time, I did not have an iPod, and all I had was a small rather cheap phone. I was watching the movie, Up, and at the end of the movie, I started feeling for my phone, and could not find it. I seriously checked every pocket and space on me, and couldn't find it. I then proceeded to get on the ground and search for my phone, and before finding my phone, I found an iPod touch. It was still alive, and was locked. I knew that if I had wanted to, I could've reset it to factory settings. A few minutes of searching later, I find my phone as well. Now, I had both items in my possession and was quite happy from this! But as I was walking out of the room, I felt like I should turn the iPod into the office's lost & found. So, I did! The following year, when I was in 8th grade, I got my iPod stolen during my P.E. class. A few days later, it got returned to me. I used this experience to relate to Kindness, because I did one random act of kindness for someone with their iPod, and then I get my iPod back as well because someone else was kind in return to me. And so I give you my testimony, that I know this church is true, and that random acts of kindness will be acted upon you, if you act them upon other people.

Song-of-the-Day: Beautiful Goodbye by Maroon 5
I've come to love this group, over the past few years. I remember when I was a kid, that I used to think the singer for this group was female, but... obviously it's not. SO, I felt dumb when I found that out. But, ha, they've done a lot of really good music throughout my lifetime.
I chose this song in particular because he even says in the song, "Clever words can't help me now.", and because I write poems that are cleverly worded, or I can even have my moments where in person I can speak really cleverly, but... it doesn't help with my situation right now, so that's why I chose this song.
