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.

It Would Be Nice

 Ever think to yourself, it would be nice if... and then you continue the sentence with whatever idea you have? Yeah, I've done that a few times in my life. I often wonder how nice it would be to have whatever I want. However that works, I do not know. I do know that wishes don't always turn out to be something we really want. Needs on the other hand, they can easily overturn a wish any day of the week. So, which do you prefer a wish or a need? I believe needs tend to be more authentic than wishes. Yet I still wish for things from time to time.

I wish I had a clear direction of where I'm headed in life. I simply do not know how any of this life will be resolved. If there were a way to figure this out, I'm sure I would hop right on it. But I'm not sure how any of it is supposed to be played out. Only that good will triumph over evil every single time. That's just how life is written. Evil may gain traction here and there for a small moment, but in the end, it is good which will win. All it takes is time and patience for everything to happen or take place.

Sometimes you don't have a clue how anything in this life works. That's okay to admit. Not everyone is expected to understand everything all at once. It can take time to understand or grasp how things are meant to be from time to time. If you can understand small things, the larger things will fall into place eventually. I wish I had the accurate wording to express myself or explain what I am thinking. But I don't think that's possible at the moment. Someday it might be, but not right now. Life is a little complex for me right now, so I'm not sure I even understand myself.

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...
