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 ...

Worry


I was reading on Reddit one day, what are some things that you worry about the most. If it's a constant worry, then that's an easy answer. Everything. Yeah, I tend to worry about everything in the universe it would seem. I don't know why I worry about things like that. It's crazy. I wish I had an idea of why I tend to worry about things. I mean wouldn't it be a good thing to have that all figured out? Yeah I was thinking so.

It would be easier not to worry about things, not to have anxiety about things. But I think life without some worry or anxiety would be rather bad for us. I don't have an exact clue of why or how that would be, but I'm just certain that some of it is a good thing to have in ones life. To keep their body moving forward.

So let's list out some things that worry me. Driving for example. It's a terrible worry to be in control over a vehicle. So I don't drive. Maybe that's not the kind of worry to be thinking about though, I'm not sure. I suppose any kind of worry can be any kind of worry. So that's a good example of worry that I have. I mean we're talking nightmares about driving that I have. Not just a natural fear or worry I guess then is it? No, I didn't think so. My driving instructor even said he was afraid I'd end up killing someone. I have that so ingrained in my mind that I can't bring myself to drive. Talk about a disabling worry/stressor.

Sometimes just being in a car freaks me out. I can actually see accidents happening. They might fall under hallucinations though. I can see cars coming at us and crashing into us. So I try my best not to pay attention to anything when we're going someplace. Probably not the best thing to happen if we actually do get into an accident, I wouldn't be a good witness, but yeah that's just how things are. Also being behind the steering wheel of a car freaks me out bad. I feel trapped, unable to move.

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...
