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 ...

What In This Life Makes Sense?

Ever wonder what in this life makes any sense? I sure do. I mean we don’t always have the answers we seek or want, but that doesn’t stop us from wondering about whatever there is to wonder about now does it. I’d like, for once, to be able to walk into a room and read it without wondering why I’m there, what I’m going to do there, how I’m going to accomplish it. I just want to be free from that anxiety and stress. There’s no other way to overcome all of that. Life will take its toll on us all, there won’t be any reason not to overcome any of this life, it’ll just be something we cannot control.

Life will always be there no matter what we do. It doesn’t care about us. It wants us to either succeed or fail. That’s what this life does to us. It makes us weak at times, and then it turns around and makes us stronger again. There’s no inbetween when it comes to life. That’s all there is to it. We have to accept that margin of error in order to understand and grasp everything that goes on in this life.

People don’t always understand what’s going on in this life. That’s not for us to concern ourselves with. There isn’t time to analyze everything that happens. That’s just not the case at times. We have to figure things out one step at a time and then come to a conclusion that we cannot have all the answers. That’s all this life is about. Figureing out the answers that we don’t have. So here we sit wondering what will happen to us if we don’t have the answers.

Do we rot and perish away thinking we could have done better? I’m not sure if I knkow the answer to that one. I don’t know if anyone has the answer to any of it. Oh how easy it would be to just let it all slide under the rug. I don’t know how that’s possible though. If everything is meant to be understood one piece at a time, not the whole story, then it could be possible. But I don’t know.

Life is life and that’s all we can take from 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...
