I am playing it cool and trying not to let it go to my head.  My day has been a memorable one and will repay many times in days ahead.  But I can't make it more then it is.  Allow me to explain.  To tell the short version I taught a shortened lesson to the High Priests Quorum today.  There were a few visitors after some stake business but I just did my thing.  After the block I came home and Sheila stayed to meet with a lady that she visit teaches.  I was reading the paper when she got here and she told me that she passed the Bishop on the way out of the building.  He was one of the visitors as he does not attend our quorum meeting.  He told her to tell me what a 'great' lesson I had given and that I was a 'master teacher' and that I had a gift to do all of that without any notes and that he could listen to me every week.  Then he said something about Aristotle meeting Brigham Young!  I made Sheila repeat all of that and did the same later on. I will probably ask her again before we go to sleep.  (So much for letting it go to my head!)

 

Oh yes, I have a new favorite song.  I had heard this song on my LDS Radio streaming feed that I listed to all day in my office.  Today I looked up the words, and have adopted it as my theme for the time being.  Especially verse # three.  I won't write it here, but I direct you to the internet to look up "Think not when you gather to Zion" It is a 'lost hymn' of Elisa R. Snow who is one of my very favorites and this new (to me) poem/song is my new treasure.  Look it up and let me know what you think.

 

I too am wondering about Nicholas' tooth. (And about his mission call.)
