Not too long ago, with a help of a good friend, I found a site where one can volunteer his or her technology knowledge to help the church (The explanation is here). I was already volunteering for the Vineyard Project, and I had heard of volunteer opportunities with technology. I just had never gone around to investigating.
So among the projects is one with the LDS Tech Blog. I am now a writer for the blog. My first article was published just before General Conference, about interacting online as a member missionary. (If interested, you can find it here.)
To my great surprise, the Deseret News wrote about this very entry on Monday (October 10), linking to the article and recommending it as a good how-to source.
I was floored. I am also happy that I am getting one of the desires of my heart, I hope, and inspiring people around me. The reporter quoted a part of my article (in which I included a link to this blog), to my even greater surprise.
So now, I feel I have to keep writing blog entries - even with it being hard to express these things lately.
This may be a case of being careful about what I [pray] for, as I also wanted more traffic to this blog.
I will do my best though. That's all I can do.
