It is more work than I thought to change the title and
design of the blog! I knew there were a
few basic things I needed to change. The
title “Elder Seth Spencer” would not work now I am finished with my mission,
and I didn’t think it was that creative either.
I love the title now! My Mom
actually helped me come up with it. She
first got the idea from a Wikipedia page.
I wanted to find something unique, something personal, and I like an aura
of mysteriousness as well. To help me
meet these things we were searching for something which related to my name and
the meaning of it. According to the page,
the two pillars referred to pillars of brick and stone supposedly made by Seth (ancient
son of Adam and Eve) and his descendants.
The pillars were engraved with the scientific discoveries and knowledge,
the idea of putting them in stone to be to preserve them over an extended
period of time. I am not sure if that
was something actually done by Seth, or something which was done at all. The idea I liked was of preserving those
things which are important to us in our lives.
I have found blogging to be a wonderful tool in preserving and sharing some
of the important things in my life with others.
In changing the blog I started with one thing in my mind and
then went searching for images and templates to coordinate and put everything
together. I found it almost impossible
to find what was exactly in my mind, but then as I found other things, the
vision of what I did want would change. Or,
I would find a part and realize that the other part I had needed to
change. In the end, I was able to work
everything out! It is interesting that
as I reflect on it a little now, I see these small circles of searching as
echoes of a little larger search I am currently on.
