I’ve had Google Analytics installed since June 2009. In that time, I’ve had visits from all over the world. The largest (by land mass) country that has never visited my site is Greenland. Obviously I’m not a big hit there. So, if you have a friend in Greenland, tell them I’d love to welcome them to my blog, (they don’t even have to comment!)
I’ve been visited by nearly every country in South America– Read more…
1 Samuel 16:7 says, “But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”

So, anonymity has helped me be more truthful than I otherwise would be inclined to be in public. I will also admit that on occasion, my temper has gotten the best of me, and perhaps I have left some comments on other blogs that could have been phrased in a more polite manner.
I came across this article at MSNBC which talks about Anonymous behavior, both the good and bad (although it concentrates more on the bad.) So, is anonymity a good thing, a bad thing, or both?
First of all, let me say that I am truly sad about Pres Hinckley’s passing. He is a true inspiration, and I, as well as the church will greatly miss him. His humor, and candor will be greatly missed.
