Peach Meets a Groundhog

It was an overcast day...

In Utah. Peach Jellybean was in her homemade hot tub just relaxing and enjoying the day. Looking out across her back yard, she noticed a little fuzzy creature popping out of a hole.

Being the adventurous bean that she was, she decided to investigate. Climbing out of the tub, she hobbled towards the hole. Sure enough, out came a Groundhog.

Now, Peach had never seen a Groundhog in real life before, just those portrayed on TV, in that one movie which will remain nameless... because she didn't like it that much. From what she could remember, the Groundhog was kind and fuzzy, and wouldn't harm her.

The Groundhog popped his head up and looked to the jellybean with awe. He had never seen a jellybean up close before himself, only those in commercials on TV. He had heard they were yummy, and was tempted to try one.

Well, the Groundhog lunged at Peach nipping her head a little bit, and then spit it out! She didn't taste good at all.

Peach hobbled back a foot or two in shock. Bearing her teeth, she jumped at the Groundhog and gobbled him whole.

The moral of the story... don't believe everything you see on TV.

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?
