Blast From The Past: January 7, 2020

Tue Jan 7 19:39:37 MST 2020 Let’s talk about today than shall we? I’d like to think it would be a nice moment in time if we could simply get along with everything that happens in this life, yet I doubt it will. It’s a shame if you think about it. A real shame. But what are you going to do with any of it? No one knows exactly. So here we sit waiting for something better to come along, hoping for something to happen and allowing us to actually see what is real and what isn’t.

Something Something Something

 Ever forget something and you're like; well, it's something? Yeah, that happens a lot to me. I don't know why that tends to happen, but it does. So, I just roll with it. It would be nice if it didn't happen to me. But I know there's only so much I can do to avoid such chaos, and chaos it sure is.

So, what are we supposed to do when this happens? Buckle in and enjoy the ride I always say. Okay I might not always say that, but it's a good enough phrase, right? Right! Life tends to happen that way. We come to this Earth, learn a few lessons (hopefully some of them actually stick), and then get out of here. Funny how that all works out.

It would be nice to be able to control such situations. But I don't think control is in the game plan here. There are so many "would be nice" things to have in life. Yet here we are waiting to see what will actually happen with any of it. Does it go one way or the other? You know the kind of thinking I'm thinking about here.

If life were to calm down for a second so I could catch my breath, that would be fantastic. Things seem to be happening at a thousand miles a second lately. I'm not sure why that is to be honest. But I'm sure this won't be the only time it happens. There will be other times that life steps in and knocks the wind out of me.

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...
