I Don't Understand Life

There are a lot of things in this life I don’t quite understand. I get it, maybe life isn’t meant to be understood? I’m not sold that’s the case though. There has got to be some things I am to understand or at least grasp with my limited knowledge, at least one would hope! (I sure as hell hope I can grasp something in this life. Anything really.) Alas here I am, simply wondering how this life is meant to turn out. I’m not sure I get how it’s all meant to go at times. Am I meant to simply be okay with that thought process? I don’t know. Perhaps we aren’t meant to understand anything in this life, and all this learning is but for nothing? Nah, that can’t be the case. We can’t be spinning our wheels for all these years, just to find out it’s all for nothing. That’s silly and ridiculous. If I can but learn one thing in life, it would be how to deal and cope with whatever tends to come my way. There has to be something I am able to do about it all without the overthinking and thought pro...

Formatting a Date in Java

For some reason my installation of Java wouldn't let me use SimpleDateFormat to format my dates. So I had to google a different way to do this and found the following works as well. The Date class has a bunch of issues with it to begin with, so this is much cleaner and better as well.


LocalDateTime ldt = LocalDateTime.now();
DateTimeFormatter df = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MM/dd/yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH);
String formattedString = df.format(ldt);

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?
