I have my moments up and down. However, as the 2nd counselor in the stake presidency reminded us in our weekly stake presidency meeting this morning (i'm stake clerk), Moroni 7 tells us we need to develop faith and hope. As we develop both, then it helps put worldly things into proper perspective: we aren't overwhelmed by temporal and temporary events. Instead, we constantly remind ourselves of the world to come, and how it fills us with joy - even while we are sitting on this telestial rock floating in the vastness of space.
K'aya K'ama, Gerald/gary Smith gszion1 @juno.com http://www .geocities.com/rameumptom/index.html "No one is as hopelessly enslaved as the person who thinks he's free." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Paul: Gary, I'm glad you cope so well on this earth. I want it to be as easy as possible and I want the least amount of trials too but that doesn't seem to be my lot. If life as a god is not as happy as I expect it should be than maybe I don't want to be a god. I'm just here because Heavenly Father expected it and I agreed to come here to grow. But this earth is a rotten place for me and if God judges me or takes away my opportunity for exaltation because that is how I feel and react or don't do all I could have done like refuse a calling or something else-- SO BE IT!!!
