Blast From The Past: January 7, 2020

Tue Jan 7 20:06:13 MST 2020 There has got to be some reason for these thoughts. Whatever thoughts come into my mind, I mean they have to have a reason right? Worry, regret, things I can’t control. Everything else which simply can’t be understood or controlled…things like that. I don’t know what to do with these thoughts. People tell me to simply forget about them. Let them go. Who’s to know how that’s meant to work out. I don’t have a clue. I wish I did. That would be nice, but I don’t. I mean, if life is meant to be simple…a breeze, something we’re meant to accomplish well into our 90s etc, if we live that long. Then aren’t we suppose to be able to do something with it? Aren’t we meant to be able to accomplish something and just be there for each other? No matter what happens? Life comes and goes, it’s not meant to be out there out there, but here we are. We don’t know what happens all the time. We don’t know what goes on when we aren’t listening or aren’t watching. We simply don’t ...

Nevermind The Smell

You know those days that tend to go by and we are clueless as to how they end up being so damn obnoxious? Yeah those days. Wouldn’t it be nice if those days didn’t exist? I mean think about it. If certain types of days didn’t exist, where would we be? I often wonder about that. Would we be in a better place mentally? Would we be in a better place spiritually? What about physically? There are so many disruptive thought processes that come across our lives that we don’t know how they will end up. Those things tend to destroy our mentality the most. We can’t have that be happening to us. We have to find a way to overcome whatever it is that we need to overcome. Overthrow the overlords as it were.

It reeks of desperation at times. This life that is. We come into it so helpless and we leave with so much knowledge and wisdom after a long lived life. At least that’s the hope for us I think. If there isn’t anything we can do about such matters then we are doomed from the beginning. Sometimes our lives aren’t meant to get any better then they currently are. We are stuck in a thought process unable to ever establish if it’s real or not.

There comes a time in this life where we have to stand up for ourselves and try and figure out what’s going to happen. The future is waiting for us to figure it out. It’s just sitting there waiting for us to march up to it and go “hey! I know what I’m going to do with you!” Then we have to get on with it.

It doesn’t mean we’re doomed from the beginning though. We have the ability to change and grow into the people we wish to become. It’s not an easy or simple task mind you, but a necessary one. Growth is as important to us as learning. They go hand in hand you see. There’s nothing bad about learning and growing. We will become the better people we wish to be because of it.

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...
