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 ...

So, This Is Life

Life Is Weird

Let’s face it, this life is weird at times. I don’t know how else to explain it. I wonder if there is a possibility of making this life … better than it is? I mean, of course that’s always possible right? Everyone has the ability to be able to fix things in their life in order to make things better.

But this life is just weird at times. I want to be able to express myself in a better light, but I cannot find a way to do that.

Maybe It’s For The Best

Ever wonder if what we’re doing is for the best? I mean we have thoughts and actions based on those thoughts. But are what we doing really the best option for us to take in our lives? Who is to say if it is or isn’t. I’m not sure we have that capabilities within ourselves, not yet at least.

What If We’re Wrong?

There is always the possibility of us being wrong. We can be wrong about so many things, it’s difficult to summarize. Any choice or obstacle we face in this life, we might choose the wrong way of handling it or dealing with it. Now just because we do something wrong doesn’t make us a bad person. We have to live and learn from our mistakes. That’s called growth.

Growing and learning can be quite impossible at times. We don’t always know what will happen in this life, sometimes we might overwhelm ourselves to the point where we cannot even fathom the ability to get through whatever challenge might lay before us.

Life, in its most simplistic form, is a danger that we have to face and overcome. There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t wonder will this be the end of me? Will this be my demise? Will there be nothing left of me in the future for me to realize something good or bad has happened to me? Yeah it’s quite a stupid thought process if you ask me. Yet here I am always wondering about it.

If Only I Could …

If only you could, what? What is it you wish you could do? Go on, I’m listening. I’m waiting for whatever it is that you’re about to say come forth from that mouth of yours. Yeah, life doesn’t work that way. If only you could do this, that, or the other you would be better off. No, not in the slightest. Sure it might work for a moment or two. But those would only be brief moments. You cannot simply wish something into existence because you want something to happen. That’s not how this life works I’m afraid.

The possibility of wanting something else to come from this life can be absurd at times. I know it can be absurd because here I am writing about it! If you don’t believe me, well I don’t know what to tell you. If life had a way of making sense, don’t you think it already would by now? I think it would.

Life Doesn’t Have To Make Snese

Yes, you read that right. Life doesn’t have to make any sense of any kind. We can talk until we’re blue in the face and we might not get anywhere on the topic of life making sense. If we had the ability to have every single thing in this life make sense, would we really want that? I doubt we would. If nothing was a mystery, we would get bored. I don’t want to be bored.

A Way Out

There’s always a way out, an escape route as it were. If there weren’t, we would be stuck in this miserable life forever. I don’t know about you, but the thought of being stuck here for the rest of my life and possibly into an eternity? No thank you! I don’t want to be miserable forever. I want to enjoy life, be happy and just be.

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...
