When I teach I am never satisfied with anything less than perfection. When my lessons are not perfect, I fret over it. Yesterday's lesson was one of those times. I had spent two weeks studying the gifts of the Spirit which included reading many talks, studying the scriptures, and commentaries for the scriptures. I have learned so much. It was such a spiritual pleasure doing all this studying and I was excited to teach the Doctrine and Covenants lesson this week. After the lesson all the YSAs went into the lounge to play games and to visit leaving Scott and me alone for a few minutes. I walked to the back of the classroom, dropped into a chair next to Scott and said, "Well that was not a great lesson." He did not say anything which meant that even he knew it was not my finest hour. I felt even worse. So often when I am really excited about a subject it does not turn out to be a great lesson. I wish I knew why.
