Peach and Black Friday

After gobbling the whole turkey yesterday before anyone else could even get a bite in, Peach decided that she wanted to go shopping early on Friday morning to hit all the sales. Waking up at 2 am, Peach hobbled out of the car and made it to the store, being the first in line wasn't too bad, she drug sock along for company and could use her if she needed to stay warm.

Well, as usual, Peach got bored around 3 am and started getting anxious. She wanted the doors to open and wanted to start shopping. I mean, who wouldn't? It was freezing after all. Taking Sock by the arm, she wrapped the puppet around her tightly so as to help stay warm. Sock figured she couldn't do anything and fell asleep.

A man standing next to Peach noticed her shivering, reaching down he attempted to pick her up. Peach smiled with her razor sharp teeth, and shook her body no. She wasn't about to lose her place in line for anyone or anything. Ya, Peach was very selfish that way.

Two more hours passed with agony and the doors finally started to open. Peach nudged Sock to wake up and the ventured inside hoping they wouldn't be squished by the rest of the people running every which way.

Peach and Sock carefully hobbled down every isle of the store watching people as they went crazy left and right hoping to get what they wanted. Naturally Peach was just interested in paper products. Upon reaching the toilet paper isle, Peach just stood there in awe. So much paper, so much time to just gobble it all up.

Sock looked to Peach and watched her faint. Shaking her head, Sock sighed. She knew this had been a bad idea from the get go. Seeing all the paper was too much for Peach to handle. Sock leaned down near Peach's mouth and checked her breathing. Shaking her head again, Sock started Mouth to Mouth, she was quite good at this actually.

After a few minutes, Peach regained consciousness. Sock simply took Peach by the arm, and they hobbled back home. Peach decided that she didn't enjoy Black Friday, not in the least. It was safer for her to just stay at home writing letters and eating them.

It's not an easy thing to talk about at all. Here's what it is: Suicidal ideation ( suicidal thoughts )  are thoughts or ideas centered around death or suicide . Experiencing suicidal ideation doesn’t mean you’re going to kill yourself, but it can be a warning sign.

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...

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?
