Priesthood Power

Can't necessarily say that I like my Father.  Bit sad,  but true.  Years of arguments and broken promises have led to empty conversations and uncomfortable silences.  The only time that I actually missed  my father while in China was when I wanted a priesthood blessing. I needed one.  I needed the reassurance from Heavenly Father that can only come through the direct line of authority each priesthood holder has.  I missed it.  So much. Oh,  to have the priesthood in my life...  I would have given anything .  I missed white shirts and ties.  I missed taking the sacrament.  I missed having the priesthood in my home and the blessings that come with one that holds the power of God here on earth. Power.  I see my friends now,  worthy priesthood holders that are an example to all.  How easy it is here in Utah to see the famous 'garment line' and know,  just know that the particular individual i...

Sh*t happens.

I don't swear, not out loud at least. Weeell, when I'm mad I'll say the D word in my head (or aloud, but softly).  When I was in the fourth grade I would swear openly because I thought it made me sound cool.  I still feel bad about it sometimes.  My sister-in-law laughed at me when I mentioned my swearing guilt aloud.   Guilt.   Shame.   Human connection is built on a ledger of cultural rules and stipulations that we must abide by or be seen as wrong, different, rude, feared, misinformed, or just, stupid. If I were to write out a numbered list of all of my " sins " you would be scrolling until JRR Tolkien dozed off from the regretful romantic repetition of my remorses. Guilt.   The difference between Guilt and Shame is that Guilt makes you want to change for the better and Shame makes you feel worthless for even existing long enough to make the mistake in the first place.  Examples:   G...

Future Tense

In the Japanese language there is no future tense.  To ask about the future,  one would say something along the lines of "From this time after,  where are you currently going?"  The respondee will then answer with what they will do after the current time. In the Mandarin Chinese language,  there is no future or past tense.  When I introduce myself to a Chinese person I usually say a translation of "I am an English teacher at China."   Obviously we are not in China at the moment so to make the statement true,  a past or present time frame must be inferred. How would we speak if we had no future or past? If we did not know who we are becoming or where we came from? If we all hustled around in right now , not then , or when  we would simply be ;  culture and history-  it would all cease to be.  What if we had no means to change our ways;  if we were permanently stuck in our current decisions,  without a ch...
