Sheila asked me how I felt while on the way home just now.  I told her that physically I was exhausted, but spiritually I felt 'enlightened'.  We had just come from a session at the Jordan River Temple and I was explaining to her how I felt.  If I do a session right it always tires me out.  It is hard work for me to concentrate that hard for that long. But tonight as we neared the end I had such insight that was actually new stuff for me.  I was able to see what a master teacher He is.  There you have simple tasks that you learn and then practice and then perform.  There are also harder tasks that you learn about but can't practice so you just promise that you will and you get all kinds of reminders to help you remember and get motivated to perform those other tasks.  What a wonderful lesson plan.  I guess that everyone there 'in class' is learning a different lesson.  Mine tonight was related to the thought in Alma about 'tasting light'.  So what I 'really, really' wanted today I actually was able to do something about (even though Draper was closed so we had to drive miles and miles (!) to our 'old' temple) and they actually thanked us for showing up when it was us that got so much more then we gave!
