Want To Feel Normal


 There are days I just want to feel normal or be normal again. But what exactly is normal? I'm sure there can be many different words or phrases that anyone could come up with to be normal.

I for one do not have an idea of what normal is. I don't think I've ever known what normal meant. If I did? Life would be much different right now than it has turned out to be.

I mean look at this picture, people are wearing masks. Is that normal? It might be the new normal as it were. But it's def not normal like you would want to think. Ever since the pandemic hit, I doubt anything has been normal for a while now. It would be nice to figure things out for once. For finally. I don't even know what that means.

If we didn't know what normal meant, I don't suppose we ever will. I mean think about it for a moment or two. If you had an inkling of what normal meant, wouldn't you want to cling to that instead of whatever you have going on right now? Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

I'm reminded of a quote from Star Trek: Generations.

"Normal is what everyone else is, and what you are not."

It was that more or less...yeah, I'm not sure I like thinking of life that way.

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?
