Another day - another duster

Out of the three tasks I set myself yesterday I didn't really acheive any!

I did do some of the washing and that is now dry but there is still a mountain of it upstairs.

I had a look at my lesson, remembered we'd had a talk in Sacrament meeting on the same topic from someone far better than I at putting these things across and wondered how on earth I am going to tackle the same subject and make it interesting again to people who only heard it two weeks previously by someone intelligent and interesting. The topic is a talk by Dallin H. Oaks entitled "Good, Better, Best". It's in the November 2007 Ensign so not only will they have heard Tim's talk on the talk, they may well have read the talk in the Ensign and even heard the talk itself in October Conference. For some people my lesson may be the fourth time they have experienced this. Oh boy, that fills me full of confidence!

What else didn't I do? I didn't make any progress with this flippin website thing. It's supposed to start off with an image of a barn and then the doors open to reveal all the website content. A bird should be flying nonchalantly across the sky. So far I've got a barn with the doors firmly shut and a bird which is dementedly flapping away as if it's life depended on it and getting precisely nowhere!

I did get the front room cleaned and shelves by my computer desk sorted out though so it's not as if I didn't achieve something.

So, what are the challenges for today? Well I go for my next lesson tonight so maybe I'll learn how to do something really basic and useful.

I need to pray for inspiration about the Relief Society lesson. Hopefully I can get a bit of a discussion going on the topic. It's actually one which is quite pertinent to me about not overloading yourself with good things to the detriment of the better things and not having time for the best things. When I first joined the Church I tried to do everything and just wore myself out. Now I'm a lot more selective and realise that it's impossible to do everything all the time without cracking up. I used to spend a lot of my time on genealogy but that was when I had easy access to facilities and a whole day a week when I had nothing else to do. Now I have other priorities and refuse to allow anyone to try to make me feel guilty for not spending as much time in the past.
