Overthinking Yet Again

Overthinking, yet again. I’m not sure what to think about this life most days. If I said it was confusing, that would be telling the truth. But what can I do about it? Not much I’m afraid. Not much at all. That’s how the cookie crumbles at times. It’s a silly thought now isn’t it? That’s what I was thinking too! If life had a purpose, what would it be? There are so many things in this life which require our undivided attention. You cannot deny that as a fact. It’s proof that life exists for a reason. A pretty good reason if you ask me. Life, at various times, is full of surprises. They can be good or bad, I think it all depends on the situation. Nothing in life is set in stone as it is always on the move towards adventure. But we can’t always be tied down to that which we don’t have. We don’t have control over things we don’t have or aren’t in our orbit. ’Tis the beast’s true nature that one. Confusing at times? Most definitely. Talk about an upset on a most terrible scale of terrib...

Future Never Looked So Bad

One thing that never ceases to amaze me is how terrible the future looks in science fiction shows. Not all sci-fi shows mind you... but it is a popular reoccurring theme.

I wonder why they do that... why can't someone display the future as a nice place to be? They don't do that... they prefer to have you believe that everything goes crazy haywire in the future and it's all messed up.

Before long, you have evil cyborgs going nuts killing people and other things.

You would hopefully prefer that the future isn't too bad, that it's somewhat a nice place to live and or be. Of course the movies have a reason for showing how terrible life is... so the main character can go back in time and fix it.

But how boring is that? It's been done... and it will continue to be done... and over done. That is their way of doing things.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Temptation Bible vs Book of Mormon

In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?

An Opposition In All Things

Long has been the story told about how there must be an opposition in all things. From the pre-existence there was Satan, Lucifer the Son of the Morning. In the beginning we were with God in his presence. We learned all we could while there. Until the moment we couldn’t progress any more, we were unable to become like God. So, we were given the opportunity to come to Earth to gain a body. A Savior would be provided to atone for our sins enabling us to come back to the presence of God. The idea that an opposition must be in all things comes from 2nd Nephi: For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither...
