Blast From The Past: February 12, 2020

There Should Be Space Wed Feb 12 20:54:57 MST 2020 There should be space where nothing makes sense and that’s okay with everyone. There should be a place where absolutely nothing matters, and we don’t have a clue what’s going on, but again it doesn’t matter…so we survive. Things like that. Isn’t that okay? Isn’t that what this life should be about? Something like that.

Dear Dad

February 15, 2026

Dear Dad,

It’s been just over a year since you died. I won’t lie, at first I was angry and mad at God for taking you away from us. Especially away from mom. But I came to realize that this life just isn’t meant to go on forever. It has its limitations. No one’s supposed to live forever. It almost feels like a curse at times.

But that’s just how this life is and I don’t think it’s very fair. Well I have a feeling that this life just isn’t meant to be fair. I’m not sure why that is, but that’s just how it feels at times. I don’t know how to change that feeling.

I wish I could talk with you one last time. Spend a day with you at least. I remember the fishing trips we would use to take. I don’t remember catching anything, but I remember spending time with you. Those were some good times.

There are regrets in my mind. I should have called you the day you died, or the day before. But there was no telling that it was going to happen. So I don’t believe I could have done that. Maybe regrets are not a good thing to hold onto, I know you wouldn’t want me to hold onto such things. So I will try not to.

I love you dad, I miss you so much.

Love,

Kyle

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...
