measuring spirituality (i did not come up with this, but i love it!).

When you have the spirit...

• you feel happy and calm
• you feel full of light
• your mind is clear
• your heart burns with love for the Lord and others
• you feel generous
• no one can offend you
• you are very forgiving and kind
• you feel confident in what you do
• you don't mind someone seeing what you are doing
• you feel outgoing and anxious to be with others (especially family members)
• you are glad when others succeed
• you want to make others happy, even those opposed to you (yikes!)
• you bring out the best and say the best about others
• you gladly and willingly perform church work
• you feel like praying and reading the scriptures
• you wish you could keep all the Lord's commandments
• you feel you have control of your appetites and emotions (food & sleep in moderation, sexual restraint, recreation that is wholesome, controlled speech and anger) (ummm.)
• you feel a deep desire to help others-usually in a way that no one else will know about
• you speak and think only good about others
• you feel sorrow when others have problems and sincerely desire to help them
• you realize that your thoughts and your actions are open to God
