Today I woke up later than my 5 AM routine. I did not get to do much before church. 

During Sacrament meeting a mother talked about her experience with the Holy Ghost. Many people feel the spirit emotionally. She is not one of them. I am the same way. I sympathize with her, feeling disfunctional. Her talk cited an apostle recently stating that it is okay to not feel the spirit regularly. Everyone has a different relationship with God the Father. I wrote that I understand the mind receives promptings from good and bad sources. Fundamentally we have one's spirit, the light of Christ, and the Holy Ghost. The bad side has the natural man and Satan. My good thoughts come from the light of Christ and the Holy Ghost. This is how I recognize the Holy Ghost in my life. 

There are different personality such as: abstract artistic thinkers, analytical thinkers, logic oriented people, and emotional empathetic people. The Holy Ghost works with the thought orientation of all man, and he does not work the same way with everyone.

Primary was unique. Two girls in my class had things to glue together. Lewis gave a couple origami crafts to Ember, and she wanted me to glue them together to make a jet plane. Ruby hoped that I could fix a necklace pendent, which she accidentally chipped. Asking Ruby if my gluing work is sufficient, I heard her reply that I hope that my mom does not notice; then, she said that she would tell her mom the truth anyways. I am grateful to be part of this learning experience in her life. Hiding the truth is harmful to human relationships, including ones' relationship with themselves.

After choir we headed straight to my parent-in-law's apartment because Jessica's father started working 5 pm to 5 am. I guessed that he might work for Nike because I had a schedule like that there. My guess was accurate, and I talked about my experience. John & I have a couple companies similar on our resumé. First it was Cutco, and Nike is now on the list.
