Inspirational- I watched a YouTube video this week that prompted much thought from me. The theme behind it was passion and the message was powerful. It made me question what I was passionate about. What does passion mean to me? Well, I think passion is something you are willing to suffer for. It's something you want so badly to achieve that you will make difficult sacrifices to get there. Passion is what has made our world so great. People excel in things they are passionate about. This benefits the whole world. I've reflected on what gives me drive and as I've done so I noticed something very interesting. I can't think of a passion of mine that is not in some way connected to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He is the light that allows us to have these passions.
Comedy- On a lighter note, I saw this wonderful video in my class about how we can apply what we learned this semester. The prompt was "with what you have learned, what will you do now to change things?" The example shown is this comical clip, "Thank You Scott-SNL" Obviously a huge change can't occur over a single post to your 84 friends. However, bringing awareness is key to helping change. Before my class I didn't even understand what privilege is. Now I know how to use to help make change and support my fellow mankind. We can erase injustice. It starts with us.

Daisies are quite a fragile type of flower. The petals can curl and fall out with just the slightest abuse. I love daisies. In many ways they are like us, our spirits. The media we are exposed to has just as subtle effects on us, as the wind and rain do on this delicate flower. Earlier this day, I was exposed to some different types of music. The contrasting messages in the songs set a very different mood in my mind. The first, an upbeat Cha-Cha, which I used to dance with my little brother. However, the lyrics were not at all upbeat. The tone was dark because of the story told by the words about someone wasting their life. It left me feeling a bit down, despite the peppy beat. Alternatively, I heard a spunky song my husband turned on, that made me feel light and happy. The content of the lyrics was about singing and dancing. The message matched the tune. I was astonished by how two "happy" sounding songs could have such a gap in the feelings they produced.
Titanfall Week 10 This past week my husband talked me into getting a cheap X-Box with a couple of games. He was especially excited about one game in particular, that he had loved playing. He was so thrilled about this opportunity, he pulled out his phone to show me the trailer of the game Titanfall. Right off the bat there were 2 curse words. My husband apologized, not remembering there being any. Barely any time past when there was a death. It started me off on my coding brain. In the whole short clip I counted around 14 deaths. These had no consequences and were portrayed as the right thing for the hero to do. As soon as the clip ended my husband looked at me for my response. I think he expected the usual "Oh, I don't like first person shooter games, the end." However, the first words that escaped my mouth were, "Fourteen people died in that clip." We both decided despite the lack of carnage, (since it was machines with people inside fighting other
Christmas Devotional Week 11 With Thanksgiving break over it is now time to get back to posting! Today I got to watch the Christmas Devotional, broadcast by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There were many messages that brought the Spirit. My favorite part of the whole broadcast was the song they chose to end with. It was the Hallelujah Chorus. The voices were powerful as they presented such a magnificent piece. I felt excitement at the upcoming holiday. I know that the media we chose to give our attention to will affect our day to day lives. Even this one song had power over a small moment of my evening.
