For the fullness of mine intent is that I may persuade men to come unto the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, and be saved.
Wherefore, the things which are pleasing unto the world I do not write, but the things which are pleasing unto God and unto those who are not of the world.
1 Nephi 6:4-5

READ FIRST - Who am I and why Daily Wonderful

Hi, I'm Randy McNeely - Here's a quick glance at who I am and why "Daily Wonderful."

Who I AM:

• I am a disciple of Jesus Christ - a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, often called Mormons.
• I am blessed to be the husband to the lovely Mrs. McNeely and the father of five amazing children (four girls and one boy).
• I am an author. I publish religious blogs for both www.ldsblogs.com as well as www.puretestimony.org
• I am a singer, and songwriter. I've written several religious and patriotic hymns and also recorded and released a children's song - "Everybody Speaks Smile!"
• I speak smile!
• I love to read all kinds of books, but especially science fiction fantasy.
• I am an Information Security Professional by trade.
• I love to work with and inspire youth to reach for the highest within them.
• I am on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
• My Mantra - "Encourage, uplift, and inspire others."

Why "Daily Wonderful"?

• I know that God is real, that Jesus is the Christ, and that we are all God's children. 
  
• I have a personal testimony that living the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only way to happiness in life.
• Because of that testimony, because of the fountain of blessings that have flowed into my life by living the gospel, because I know we are all brothers and sister, I desire to share my testimony and invite all men everywhere to accept the Savior's invitation to come unto Him. 
  
• All of these things are truly WONDERFUL! to me. Hence Daily Wonderful!
  
• I will post one "Daily Wonderful" of 300* words or less per day with the desire to encourage, inspire, and uplift anyone who reads it to take actions that will bless their lives.
  

(NOTE: * - Decided, after 9 days, to challenge my self to develop the ability to write powerfully in 300 words or less. Putting the saying "less is more" to the test.)
