SUN CAME UP THIS MORNING

Yes it did! It always comes up even if we don't see it. Profound that is. Simple but profound. You think that you understand that, so it dosen't need to be expressed but that's the wrong way to think of it. So often we believe that many things should go without saying, but if we don't we tend to ignore the principal and lose the lesson. If we cut through the myth and accept that it is myth we become free to understand the truth. Myth dosen't define the truth, it dosen't change it and it dosen't negate it in any way. It can blind us and bind us and shape our view but that is our choice.

People are shocked when you express GOD's nature in human terms. Well if you are LDS you believe He was human, so why dosen't He have human traits? If you believe He is spirit you still have learned that you were created in His image. (just ignor those who then try to twist around what that means) One of the best lessons in my life was a picture given to me in college by a friend. It was a drawing of JESUS, laughing with His head thrown back and His hair flying around. The picture is long gone but the image remains. Of course He and His Father have a great capacity for humor. ( GOD dosen't laugh? give me a break) He isn't somber, stern,angry, or dour. Nor is He silly, foolish, vulger. He is us. We are like Him. We should be well rounded and understand that He understands us. Heaven help us because we have really messed up GOD. If we are to become like Him and inherite all He has then it stands to reason that we can develope many of His trates now. So develope already.

It's not hard to predict the future with what you know and see now. I look at my children and can see many things that will happen. You look at me and do the same thing. We don't need outside help in order to make it a mystery. It's plain. The lie is all around you. Stop being fooled. Stop waiting to be led and take charge of yourself. Look at the logical outcome that will result from the current path in our world. Both the small short personal path and the path writ large in the world. Lets stop accepting the lie because it feels better and lets fix our corner of the mess.
