The first time of actually doing some in depth writing on line. I have had so much on my mind today. Not just today of course, but swirling around since I moved to Idaho some 7 months ago. How do I put that into words? I guess putting the words down is easy, doing it without rambling, well that is something different.
I guess I will start with impressions from today. Today we had a High Councilman talk about being a disciple, and what that means. Those were hard words. If you are reading this, then you know me, and know of my reclusive nature. Those who really know me know the pain that I feel when having to stand in front of people, to meet new people, or to be in crowded situations. He taught today that a true Disciple of Christ does not dwell alone, that he, or she, actually seeks out people, to strengthen them if they have accepted Christ, and to seek out those that haven't. My first impression is that I can't do that. So I to ask "I can't" or I won't". I know the answer of course, it is just accepting it, and acting on it. Stay tuned...
I also had the chance to teach two young men a lesson to prepare to receive the Melchizedek Prieshood. They are both married, and one of their wives was in the class as well. We talked about the Oath and Covenant of the Priesthood, and the great blessings this priesthood brings to the world. We discussed the blessings of the temple, and the opportunity to be sealed for all time and eternity. Husband and Wife. King and Queen. We listened to a talk by Elder Bruce R. McConkie. For the record, it was part of the lesson plan, but being honest, it was one of many choices. Here is the link:

Sang with the choir, it was good, asked to do a duet or solo for a time coming up to be determined. In choir rehearsal today, the warm up hymn, (not selected by me, but could have been) was "Oh What Songs of the Heart" (286) I love the feeling of that song.
Just one day. Hopefully not too much rambling.
