Anyway, here's an analogy I was pondering over. Last night Logan and I gave a combined lesson on the Holy Ghost. Logan explained some of the roles of the Holy Ghost (comforter, guide, etc). I tried to explain the gift of the Holy Ghost.
In my lesson I was trying to explain how the gift of the Holy Ghost is both a gift and conditional at the same time. The power of the Holy Ghost is different than only having the gift of the Holy Ghost. I was having a rough go of it, but I thought of a good analogy to make my point.
Let's say someone gave you a HUGE entertainment system. A 67" HDTV with BOSE surround sound---the whole 9 yards. So you get this awesome gift. Yet you don't have a single power outlet in the entire house. So you already have the gift, but no power to use it. So that's how the Holy Ghost is both a gift and conditional.
Also, if you haven't seen the funniest birthday video in the world, you should check it out.
You and Logan did a great job with the lesson! That was nice that you prepared together and presented it the way you did.
