Living Life

It’s a life we live, that’s what’s important in this life I think, it’s the best possible outcome at least. If we don’t understand that much about life, then what are we supposed to do about it? I mean, come on now. We’re meant to live and see what’s out there, aren’t we? One would think so! If we can’t do that, then we’re lost souls on this river, or ocean even and we cannot get past it all. We are lost at sea as it were cast about the waves unable to get past whatever it is we’re meant to get past. So, let’s live life to its fullest. Don’t overthink things, don’t allow yourself to become corrupt in such thinking. Supposedly not everything is black and white, I’m not sure how that works exactly. I wish I could have a handle on it all, but I don’t know how that tends to work. So I forget whatever is meant to be and I will understand it as it’s meant to come to me, if at all.

Authority To Baptize

Halfway through my mission I began to feel doubts. My first ever doubt was why did it have to take authority to baptize people. If a person's faith was strong, wouldn't that be enough for God to accept that person's baptism? I struggled with this thought for a while. I still struggle with this thought to this day. Why does it require authority from God to baptize someone?

Schizoaffective Disorder

I want to say it first began in High School when I thought I was trying to beat the devil. Now when I say I was "trying to beat the devil", I mean I actually thought I was hearing the devil speak to me at night and that I had to find some way to overcome him. Looking back I should have sought professional help then. I remember telling a friend about this experience, and he looked at me like I was nuts. Talk about craziness right? Yeah something like that. I believe my first mental break was when I was serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints . I wanted to go home so bad. It could have just been homesickness . But...there was something more to it. About halfway through I was just done with it all. I had had enough of rejection and wanted to go home. But I was afraid that I was unable to because I would simply be told no . I know that sounds silly to people. But that's what happened. I didn't b...

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?

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.
