What Is Your Purpose?

Ever wonder what your purpose is in life? Yeah I tend to do that from time to time. It would be nice to be able to figure out exactly what I’m meant to do on this Earth. I mean it can’t always be just whatever that comes to mind, can it? No, I highly doubt that’s the case. It would be nice to be able to sit down with my thoughts and ask them all my questions. Hoping to actually get some answers. Is that a long shot? Maybe. Should I do it anyway? Yeah I think I should. But then the thoughts enter my head and they aren’t so nice. They tend to downplay anything and everything that happens in my life. I don’t think there’s a day that goes by where I don’t have to listen to those damn thoughts. They are always around. So I tend to ask myself “What is my purpose in this life?” It feels like a simple and straightforward question to answer. But it really isn’t. There are so many confusing things in this life that don’t quite make sense. It all comes down to wanting to have a basic understan...

The Untold Story of Sock Puppet

Ah the sock puppet. Where to begin where to begin. I suppose it all started in another life. 1910 to be exact. I was a shoeshine boy on the corner of 5th and Broadway. Well, one day as I was shining a fella's shoes, instead of paying me he gave me a sock puppet. Yep, I got a used sock puppet. He had said she always brought him luck, so I took it, cursed at the guy for not giving me money and went on my way. He was the last shoe shine of the day.

Well I tell ya, that sock puppet wouldn't keep quiet. She was always talking about this that and the other. Her stories never got old though, yep she had dreams of moving overseas and seeing the world. Well, being a sock puppet, she could never get over there. Poor lass. But she did keep me company on those lonely nights when I had no one to talk to.

Now Peach, the Jelly Bean. Well, that's an even longer story... we'll get to that one in a moment or two... :-)

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.

What's The Point?

 So, tell me, what is the point of believing in a spiritual supreme being? I often wonder what that is all about. I know religions say that God, as some call him, is our father. We pray by starting with our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Yet sometimes it feels like he is absent from our lives. Is it due to how we are living our lives? What exactly is the cause of that feeling? Some people believe that God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are one person. Others do not. It is interesting to me to see what all churches believe in. I myself do not go to church. I don't believe in organized religion. I have my bible on my phone, so it's me and my bible. That is my link to God. It makes me wonder if that's enough though. I have faith in Christ, I believe in him. Is my faith sufficient to be forgiven of my sins? I do not know. I do know that wherever I end up in the afterlife, I will have done my best to follow Christ. I believe the scriptures which lay out Christ's...

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?
