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 Meets a Snake

One day on a cold day like today, Peach was bouncing around the house. She had to bounce because she's a Jelly Bean for crying out loud and doesn't have feet. As she was bouncing, a strong wind blew the front door opened causing her to lose her concentration. Rolling on the ground, Peach managed to get near the door to close it. Standing back up on her end, Peach turned around and came face to face with a snake.

"Hello." Peach said.

The snake looked the little jelly bean up and down. "Well hello there." He replied, "Are you a yummy treat."

Peach smiled shyly at the snake. She always loved compliments especially when they came from strangers. She watched as the snake slithered around her like a hawk hunting its prey.

"It's been a while since I've had a snack." The snake said.

Peach continued to smile. "Me too." She said as her grin became larger.

The snake got closer. "Hmmm, what am I going to do with you?"

Peach opened her mouth wider. "No, I think the question is, what am I going to do with YOU?" She hopped closer to the snake and continued to smile. "Who's your daddy?"

Before the snake could respond, peach started at his tale and gobbled him up as quick as can be. Spitting out the eyes of course, she never really cared for them. Laying down on the floor, Peach decided to take a little nap. For some reason she always became tired after eating anything. She was just strange that way.

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...
