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.

The Tongue Ring

Peach hid around the corner waiting for Sock to arrive. Sock always made a morning run around the house at 4 am when everyone else was asleep. or so she thought. Wait a second! Sock can't run... no wait, yes she can, she was in a shoe. As Sock came around the corner, Peach tripped her causing her to crash to the ground.

Sock stood up, a little dazed and full of grass stains. Looking to Peach she gave a slight smile. Sock actually enjoyed these games, well except for when she got eaten and had to be put back together. Peach grinned, showing her razor sharp teeth (of flame no less? ya still no clue what that means).

Sock looked to Peach and stuck her tongue out... showing off her tongue ring.

Peach looked back in surprise, she didn?t know Sock had a tongue ring let alone a tongue. Her smile went away, and her mouth dropped wide open as if to say she wanted one as well.

Sock got back in her shoe and motioned for Peach to follow her. They walked down the street to the crosswalk and crossed without incident. Which was a surprise, because they usually got hit by a car being as small as they are.

Peach followed Sock to a tattoo parlor and they walked inside. Behind the counter, a man that had a tattoo of a snake running down his arm greeted them. "What can I do for you today?"

Peach grinned, forgetting about the tongue ring, she jumped up and bit the man in the ear making several new holes for him to put rings into.

Jumping down she hobbled towards the door. Peach stopped for a second to read a sign "Help Wanted", she took the sign in her mouth and hobbled back to the counter.

Sock looked on in amusement.

Presenting the sign to the owner, she nodded. The man felt his ear, three perfectly round holes were there, he nodded his approval. "You've got the job, you start on Monday."

Peach nodded and winked at the man. She then jumped down from the counter. Sock and Peach walked out the door and headed home. Their latest adventure had been an interesting one.

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...
