A divine vision of the future.

I really enjoyed the many different opportunities to learn about the gospel today.  The spirit was strong as the feelings of peace and knowledge seemed freely available to any who would listen.  I think I could have gained so much more just for having prepared better by getting more sleep last night... though, I shouldn't really complain at myself for doing silly things that I certainly do have control over.  My self-mastery of such is certainly lacking but I know I am improving.  The time of tonight's entry is a small evidence of that.

Some of the things I learned today were more of the ways I am flawed and need correction.  I can't say this is ever an entirely pleasant form of learning but it isn't really a bad thing either.  It is always nice to know what I am doing wrong especially if I didn't understand it beforehand.  It's even nicer to get a plan on how to fix those things.

I also learned a little more about the importance and differences between the light of Christ and the Holy Ghost.  It is a deep and rich topic which still bears further examination and pondering.  I won't go into any of it here but I might sprinkle some of it into a different entry I am working on in the future.

I am definitely a different sort of person.  I hear people make statements that sound like they should be quite common to most people that I don't think I have ever really experienced and it makes me realize how far removed from normality I am in some ways.  I realize that this does not make me any more special than the next person(indeed, it probably makes me less appealing to the opposite sex in some ways) but it certainly increases my feelings of loneliness and separation.  Luckily neither of those feelings are very strong for me but they can have their peaks from time to time.  This might be one of the reasons I am so driven to meet and know other people well.

Well, this week is going to be a good one.  I have a decent amount of time on my hands to get many of my personal projects in gear.  I think there will be a different sort of rhythm to it, due to work abnormalities, which I tend to enjoy for the most part.  Plus, the weather is all sorts of unpredictable as usual.  I should be another good week!
