Dear Reader,
Today I write the post first and at the end I'll add a title. This is due to my lack of creativity at the moment and the shortage of foresight of what we will discuss today. There are many things worth talking about (as usual, considering how many things are on the mind). Let's dive right in and start with a great insight I had in Church today.
A brother in our singles' ward talked about obedience today. He didn't describe being obedient in the normal way people do so. An example he presented was that of the Wright Brothers while working on the first man-made flying machine. You see, there were certain laws that they could have just ignored and probably gotten some results. However, by abiding these laws (Such as drag, lift, gravity, etc), they were able to find out a more efficient way of achieving their goal.
Tonight my roommate invited us to dinner with his family. My initial reaction was to decline because I wasn't even home at the time and I was feeling lazy and not wanting to meet new people really. Lucky, I have been focusing on positive things this week and I quickly changed my thoughts to how great my roommate is and how much he has helped me out. This lead to thoughts of what I had heard about his family, which seemed pretty amazing, too. I am glad I went. His siblings were so much fun to talk to and his mom invited some of her friends as well. Long story short, we had a great time at dinner and we played some games. We plan on going back real soon. :)
Afterward again I was thinking about not going to tunnel singing because several people had stated this week that it is a "Freshman" activity and that there are too many people. To them I say this: I'm glad I went tonight. Singing there with a couple of my good friends from other singing groups, it reminded us that one of the best ways to worship Christ is through song. After singing there tonight, I remembered that I am nothing without his Atonement. I forget that really easily, but I'm glad that I was reminded tonight.
There is the title. I hope I haven't used it before. Count your blessings. There are lots.
