LDS Journal Website

I want to call everyone's attention to the new website LDSjournal.com. I discovered it last month and signed up right away (it's free), and I can now say that I have written a journal entry for every single day since March 9. In the October conference, President Eyring instructed us to be writing in our journals every day, which is something I've never been too good at. I've kept a journal on and off since I was a child, but never consistently until now.
The website has lots of great features, like an All About Me section, where you can answer dozens of questions about your life, but the feature that has benefited me the most so far is that you can fill in any date you want. So yes, there have been a few days in a row where I haven't written an entry, which would have resulted in a few skipped blank pages in my book journals, but this way, I can just go back later and write in whatever happened that day, and if I want to, I can even change the date so that readers see that I didn't actually record the stuff on that actual date.
As usual, I wrote too much, but I'm really excited about this website and hope it helps some of you obey the prophets, too! Go sign up!

PS I should say that it's not just for members of the LDS Church. It just has certain features that are appropriate for members of the church, especially in the All About Me section (baptism, testimony, mission, etc).

i need to just go look at it, because I am typing online EVERYDAY and I don't have a journal except for my calendar which I have kept for over 6-7 years now, but I can't write a whole lot for one day on a calender square....
I keep thinking I'll check it out but I just need to do it..
THANKS

Thank you! This is awesome. Even if I just fill out some questions, I feel like I've done SOMETHING.

Amber Lee, (since that is how I so dearly remember you.) You are truly one of my heroes. I have always loved your testimony of the gospel, and have admired your sharing with the world. A month ago I found a copy of the BOM that we took with us to NACA. You wrote your testimony in purple pen. It touched me when you wrote it, and it touched me again 8 years later when I stumbled upon it. I had planned on mailing it to you but didn't know where you were living...now I know. I loved your testimony that you shared so lovingly on your blog. I miss you and your unconditional love for people and your irresistible desire to share God's love with the world. And, by the way, it was such a great honor to share your name. You were never "the other Amber Peterson" in my book. You were my hero. Love ya, Amber
