Blast From The Past: January 7, 2020

Tue Jan 7 20:06:13 MST 2020 There has got to be some reason for these thoughts. Whatever thoughts come into my mind, I mean they have to have a reason right? Worry, regret, things I can’t control. Everything else which simply can’t be understood or controlled…things like that. I don’t know what to do with these thoughts. People tell me to simply forget about them. Let them go. Who’s to know how that’s meant to work out. I don’t have a clue. I wish I did. That would be nice, but I don’t. I mean, if life is meant to be simple…a breeze, something we’re meant to accomplish well into our 90s etc, if we live that long. Then aren’t we suppose to be able to do something with it? Aren’t we meant to be able to accomplish something and just be there for each other? No matter what happens? Life comes and goes, it’s not meant to be out there out there, but here we are. We don’t know what happens all the time. We don’t know what goes on when we aren’t listening or aren’t watching. We simply don’t ...

Not Here

Nope, I don't claim to be here in the slightest. Last night, I attempted to upgrade my wordpress install on another site. It didn't like the version of MySQL I was running... so what happened? Yeah... you guessed it. I got upset and deleted the whole thing.

Not sure what I want to do at this juncture. Do I reinstall the sucker, using MySQL 5.0... or just forget about the whole thing. I mean... in reality I do only need one of these blogs right? Right! So... shoot. What am I going to do regarding this mess. What to do what to do...

The other issue I have today... well I have one heck of a headache. Ah yes the headache that seems to come and go and come back. Always reliable that it can be found again and again. Good times I tell ya, good times indeed... okay so not really. Wow I'm starting to ramble.

Watching NCIS on USA today. I'm thinking they have a marathon going on today. So fun, so fun indeed. Abby is cutting into a teddy bear now... lol Love it how she's pretending to be Doctor Abby, doing the whole autopsy thing on the stuffed animal. This show really cracks me up!

I enjoyed the Christmas special NCIS had last Tuesday. So fun, so great. Don't ask me the title of the episode... haven't a freakin' clue. lol

What a way to start the New Year... speaking of New Year, shoot... I've been up and down so much this weekend... I really don't have a clue what day it is. So crazy and yet so fun at the same time. Oh well... fun times to be had for all.

Anyways... I'm not here today. Nope, I plead the 5th today entirely.

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...
