Voices In My Head

Oh voices, get out! Get out! Get out! You don’t need to be there telling me what to do and what not to do. Who to do it to etc. You need to go away. Is that too much to ask? I doubt it. But I fear the voices will never go away. They’ll be with me for a long time, and I don’t like that. Do the voices have a purpose in life? I doubt it. I don’t think they have a good purpose with anything. They’re evil voices after all. There isn’t anything good about them! At least I don’t think there is anything good about them. If there were, they wouldn’t be doing all the things now would they? No, I didn’t think so.

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.

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?

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...
