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 28, 2026

Dear Dad,

Well you missed your fiftieth wedding anniversary. I don’t know if you are able to celebrate where you are. Or if things like anniversaries are even thought or cared about. It would be a nice thought if they were still considered for something, a memory at least. But I don’t know how any of that really works. Heck there’s a lot of things that I don’t know how it works right now and I have to be okay with that.

Life is hard right now. I don’t know how else to put it really I don’t. It kinda sucks. But well here I am. It’s just how things are at the moment I guess. Whatever. I’ll get through it and figure things out. Wish you were here so I could just talk it over through with you. But you’re not, so I have to go it alone I guess.

I read the news and it’s just terrible, so there’s no point in reading the news. It just gets in the way of everything else and I don’t know how to feel about it all. It’s getting under my skin at times, and I don’t like it! Oh well, what’s there to do about any of it? I don’t know.

So that’s life at the moment. Things getting in the way and we are just living on this planet that orbits the sun. Talk about some crazy things going on in this life ya know? Yeah. I envy you for being on the other side of whatever comes next. But I don’t get to be there yet. Someday I will be there, but not right now I guess. That’s just life.

Anywhoo, talk to you later.

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...
