Thu Jun 11 11:18:25 AM MDT 2026 Let’s talk about what today is. Today is a rather ungrateful day. It’s a Thursday, so that’s got to mean something. Of course I thought yesterday was Thursday. Such a bummer. I’m freezing today. I don’t know how hot it’s supposed to get outside? But I feel cold. I don’t usually feel cold in the summertime. I hope I’m not getting sick or coming down with something. I’m sitting in my office and I have my minky on my lap because I’m freezing! Sami’s friend dropped off some chairs so we have a place to sit now. They’re nice oversized comfy chairs too! Only cost her eight dollars, so that’s what we paid for them. It feels good to have a place to sit in while writing or watching TV again. Talk about a good thing to have around. Last night, I had some crazy thoughts. Typical “life is a simulation” thought process. I don’t know why I am having these thoughts. They seem to come out of nowhere. It just happens to be that way though. I’m not crazy, sure I’ve be...
I’ve read over the transcript of the “Swedish Rescue.” There was a time in Sweden where members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had questions. They felt they weren’t receiving any answers to their questions. The church responded by sending church historians out to meet with the members who had doubts and questions.
After reading the transcript, I came away with the following answer from it all.
The church doesn’t know the answers to the questions they are asked. Several times during the course of the evening, the church historians stated there was no official word from the church on the subject or question at hand. They didn’t have any answers. Only to double down and believe, that in time after telling yourself it was true you would come to the same conclusion and not worry about it anymore. It was an eye opening experience.
Another theme that I saw was how information was presented. It was told that the history was told by the historians differently generation after generation as more people learned more things. The historians said not to put it on the prophet, it was the duty of the church historians to set people straight basically. I don’t know about you, but that’s not what I learned in church. The prophet is the only one who can speak for the Lord and for the church. It has to rest on his shoulders and his shoulders alone in what is taught, to ensure that correct doctrine is taught.
It’s an interesting read for those interested. I’d give it a read or two, but you don’t have to take my word for it.
