Posting again
I felt that today I again needed to post something on the our missing leaves blog. So this is today's topic: I have my ham radio licence and I have been listening to all the chatting about the events in Japan. First I need to say our prayers are with the people of Japan. Second I want to say why do people see things like this so differently from the rest of the group. So I am hearing one of the men on the radio talk about it and he says that he has been listening to a local talk radio host talking about this and he keeps bringing up the fact that we are not seeing people looting in Japan, and we just have the Denver Broncos win and we get riots and looting in the streets of Denver. So this makes me think that we need to examine our ways of thinking, we have had so many days of big snow in the mountains so this summer we are sure to see flooding and issues like that. So for traditional thinking in this way we would then have people running to the streets and causing all kinds of trouble. So my question is why must we be this way. We are all children of our Heavenly Father so why do some make it bad for others, and are we all pre-destine to be that way or can we use our free agency and change what or who we are? I feel that each of us can change who and what we are and that we can exercise our free agency and become more like our Father In Heaven. So why choose his path and become a better person over choosing to go the other way? That is the question that I am asking everyone following the blog let me know, I know what I feel but lets see what others think?

Well, this is something that I think about a lot. I agree that we can change who we are, although it isn't easy, it can be done.
ReplyDeleteThe reason that someone should choose to be a better person, more like our Father in Heaven, is for the happiness that the Lord will give us. I think that's really the simplest answer. If we have faith the the Lord, and understand what He wants for us, we can know that He will bring us genuine happiness in this life and the next.
Thanks for adding to this blog entry on this subject it is interesting who is willing to put things down in words and who does not. But I have had several email's about this and people talking to me so it is neat that people are reading the stuff I am putting out. So Moser Fam Your statment about it not being easy is the "fact jack". I personally find that it is not easy because I want things to happen in my time not our Heavenly Fathers time so I end up causing myself more work and wait time by being that way.
