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.

Shocking News Received

Living my life as a sock, I've come to accept certain living arrangements. One of the most common living arrangements is that I tend to live in shoe boxes. Now, don't get me wrong here. I do enjoy living in a shoe box, they're full of lots of paper and basically anything that a sock puppet would ever need or want. The thing that I don't like or enjoy, is that I get tossed in the dryer once in a while. Have you ever been inside of a dryer? Oy, I thought I was going to get fried!

The washing-machine was fun, all of those fun different cycles of washing and rinsing, sure makes ya feel clean and all. The dryer was a different type of shoe box. There was this ghost in there that tends to snatch up a sock from a pair so you don't have two socks anymore and are missing one sock altogether. I've often wondered if that's where my matching partner went. I mean, I'm a Sock Puppet, and so there must be more like me right? So yeah, I just wonder if the ghost in the dryer took my partner away from me. Will I ever see that other Sock Puppet again? Things that make you go hmmmmmm.

Wow, I've just been told that the dryer isn't a shoe box at all! Oh my, what on earth is this world coming to? Next thing you'll tell me is that a Sock Puppet isn't a real living, breathing entity, and that we're just here for your amusement... what's that you say? OH MY!!! Excuse me while I go contact every living soul on the face of the earth. This insanity has to be stopped!

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...
