Elder F. Enzio Busche said in his talk Unleashing the Dormant Spirit (see below for the link): In my humble understanding, it can be said that there are only two elements that separate us from the Holy Spirit: First, our lack of desire to repent, and, second, our lack of desire to forgive. It helps when, from time to time, we ponder and seek identification with the following thoughts:

* Embrace this day with an enthusiastic welcome, no matter how it looks. The covenant with God to which you are true enables you to become enlightened by him, and nothing is impossible for you.

* When you are physically sick, tired, or in despair, steer your thoughts away from yourself and direct them, in gratitude and love, toward God.

* In your life there have to be challenges. They will either bring you closer to God and therefore make you stronger, or they can destroy you. But you make the decision of which road you take.
* First and foremost, you are a spirit child of God. If you neglect to feed your spirit, you will reap unhappiness. Don't permit anything to detract you from this awareness.

* You cannot communicate with God unless you have first sacrificed your self-oriented natural man and have brought yourself into the lower levels of meekness, to become acceptable for the Light of Christ.

* Put all frustrations, hurt feelings, and grumblings into the perspective of your eternal hope. Light will flow into your soul.

* Pause to ponder the suffering Christ felt in the Garden of Gethsemane. In the awareness of the depth of gratitude for him, you appreciate every opportunity to show your love for him by diligently serving in his Church.

* God knows that you are not perfect. As you suffer about your imperfections, he will give you comfort and suggestions of where to improve.

* God knows better than you what you need. He always attempts to speak to you. Listen, and follow the uncomfortable suggestions that he makes to us--everything will fall into its place.

* Avoid any fear like your worst enemy, but magnify your fear about the consequences of sin.

* When you cannot love someone, look into that person's eyes long enough to find the hidden rudiments of the child of God in him.

* Never judge anyone. When you accept this, you will be freed. In the case of your own children or subordinates, where you have the responsibility to judge, help them to become their own judges.

* If someone hurts you so much that your feelings seem to choke you, forgive and you will be free again.

* Avoid at all cost any pessimistic, negative, or criticizing thoughts. If you cannot cut them out, they will do you harm. On the road toward salvation, let questions arise but never doubts. If something is wrong, God will give you clarity but never doubts.

* Avoid rush and haste and uncontrolled words. Divine light develops in places of peace and quiet. Be aware of that as you enter places of worship.

* Be not so much concerned about what you do, but do what you do with all your heart, might, and strength. In thoroughness is satisfaction.

* You want to be good and to do good. That is commendable. But the greatest achievement that can be reached in our lives is to be under the complete influence of the Holy Ghost. Then he will teach us what is really good and necessary to do.

* The pain of sacrifice lasts only one moment. It is the fear of the pain of sacrifice that makes you hesitate to do it.

* Be grateful for every opportunity to serve. It helps you more than those you serve.

* And finally, when you are compelled to give up something or when things that are dear to you are withdrawn from you, know that this is your lesson to be learned right now. But know also that, as you are learning this lesson, God wants to give you something better.

Here is another part of our family history. This time I wrote an article about my great-grandmother Anežka Rybová titled Case Closed: The Benefits of Online Czech Research.

I wrote a blog article for FamilySearch about Julianna Magera, my husband Bernard's great-grandmother titled A Death Record Solved the Mystery.

Today, I finished my online learning program. It has been a long journey and I learned a lot. What was my favorite new thing to learn? It was definitely Delicious Bookmarking Manager! Thank you Claire for giving me this opportunity. You are an awesome coworker and a great friend.

Lifelong skill building never ends and this is only the beginning…

Click on the following link to watch an amazing video Advice from Elder Busche http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snAjZ8mfoYw.
In a BYU Devotional, given on May 14 1996, Elder F. Enzio Busche of the Quorum of the Seventy of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gave advice to those listening on how to become a disciple of Christ. The speech was entitled "Unleashing the Dormant Spirit" and can be found at http://speeches.byu.edu/reader/reader.php?id=7908.

So today, I continued my lifelong skill building. I explored Google Docs and created a simple document. I really do not see a need at this point for me to use it but I can see how this could be helpful to me if I was somewhere without my computer and had to write a letter. I also checked Web 2.0 awards list and realized that most online tools that I already use actually made the top of the list. I was mostly interested in the Digital Storage & Remote Access and Genealogy categories. I explored Linkedin and was surprised to find some of my friends' profiles there. I signed up for Genealogy Wise and will see if there will be any benefit in it.

Today I learned about del.icio.us at http://www.delicious.com/ which is a bookmarking manager. This is a cool tool. You can create a list of your favorite websites and then access them from any computer. I am actually going to create an account and use it.
