I like what you drew out of the meaning of reflection. The comparision to the mirrors in the temple were a great visual. I also liked the simplicty in your format. Tasteful and not distracting.
I'm with Courtney - the simple design enhanced without taking away from the point of your essay. Content-wise, I really got the most out of the last paragraph and the concrete examples of how we can avoid being detail-focused and instead use reflection to pull real lessons from our council experiences. Already making me rethink my meeting with Seth about Alumni Records the other day...
You know I never thought about applying this to a gospel context. It's true that if we don't reflect on the things we study in the scriptures it is hard to get anything out of them. Sometimes I wish BYU religion classes would emphasize reflection a little more and tone down the regurgitation exercises. I think if this were done greater spiritual growth would occur.
