Dance-Walking
So... my roommates and I were going to do a workout video tonight, but the lounge was taken and apparently those living below us do not take kindly to people jumping in unison above them.
I know. I don't understand it either. Also, I wanted an excuse to include David Tennant. No big deal.So my roommate suggested we follow this plan:
It was actually a decent work out, and fun. Although I may have looked a little like this.
No big deal. Who needs pride? It was fun, dancing "downtown".
On a more serious note, we had a Q&A with this guy for Family Home Evening tonight:
It was wonderful. I love learning from the president of the university, a member of the 70, former dean at Harvard, and such an altogether brilliant man. Here are some cool things I learned:
Q: Why does the Lord bless some people with different/more gifts than others?
A: The Lord is perfect. Everything he does is just right for that person, and that person's progression and salvation. We can't see the full picture.
He then talked about a rebellious son he had who once crashed the car at 3AM and then stayed out until 6. He spent a lot of time asking "Why me?". Then he talked about ordaining that same son to be a high priest after he was called to be in the bishopric, and how proud he was and how grateful to have such a son.
Q: How can we strengthen the university?
A: Don't let the world into your heart, but let the Holy Ghost dwell there. If you have the Spirit with you, not only will the university be great, but your life will be what the Lord wants it to be so that you may be led back to Him.
Q: How do you tell between your own feelings and the Spirit?
A: Listen. The Holy Ghost is unique. Also, don't worry about it. Just be good. God will guide you. He knows you really well. He knows your strengths and struggles, and He loves you. Study it out. The Lord will give you answers. There are three possible answers: Yes, No, and no answer. If there isn't an answer, and your decision is in accordance with revealed truth and seems good, do it. You'll know if it's good. The Lord won't let you wander astray.

There were lots more, but it's past my bedtime. I'll try to finish tomorrow.
