QSquared

This was the book that I read in two days. I honestly couldn't put it down.

Bought it at the DI for $4.00. Back in 1995 I think it probably went for around 22.50 or something. So yes def saved moneys by waiting to purchase the book. Haha

Jist of the book: Trelane is bothering the heck out of Q. He's an infant in the Q world... or a teenager basically. So what do teenagers do? They bother the people in charge of them.

So, Q comes to Picard for assistance with his little problem.

It's a very good story. I'd highly recommend it to any Trek fan out there. Of course it helps that it was written by one of my favorite authors, Peter David.

I wouldn't say it was a complex story... but parts of it were rather complex. The author juggled the three universes he was working with quite well. Since I'm a major fan of any kind of alternate universe story, this one fell right in line with how my mind works.

So yes, two thumbs way up on this book. Get it. Read it. Love it.

Suicidal Ideation

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...
