Blast From The Past: January 7, 2020

Tue Jan 7 19:39:37 MST 2020 Let’s talk about today than shall we? I’d like to think it would be a nice moment in time if we could simply get along with everything that happens in this life, yet I doubt it will. It’s a shame if you think about it. A real shame. But what are you going to do with any of it? No one knows exactly. So here we sit waiting for something better to come along, hoping for something to happen and allowing us to actually see what is real and what isn’t.

Peach Goes To Vote

Peach hobbled into the school ready to vote in the election. As she continued down the hallway, and grinning at people walking by as usual, a thought struck her... she left sock on the stove... and it was on.

"Oh well" she thought, "Sock will find a way off" Peach continued hobbling.

As the jellybean approached a table, a man looked at her and said "I still can't believe you got Congress to pass that law allowing Jellybeans to vote!"

Peach nodded her body in agreement. It had been quite the feat to say the least. Not many letters she wrote to congress actually made it off her desk, for she did have a love for paper.

The man handed peach a voting ballot and pointed to a booth. "Go in there and..." He paused as Peach swallowed the paper and swished it around in her mouth a bit.

"Uh..." the man started to say. Peach shook her head as if to say that she would be with him in a second.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the jellybean spit the ballot out onto the table with her choices marked. The poll worker couldn't believe his eyes. "Okaaay" he said, staring at the ballot "but you have to put it in the box."

Peach grinned at the man. Bumping the table, her ballot went flying into the air and directly into the voting box. She hobbled out of the room feeling happy that she had done her civic duty.

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...
