Timeless

The seconds

They tick by

For what purpose?

By whose authority?
 

Shall we bind ourselves to the wrinkles of this passing which we call time?



As Michael Stevens once said, 

Time is now something that can be spent. We  shackle our wrists to it.

 

Indeed, we are a slave to our definition.

 

It is true that this time is important. But important enough to worry over all our lives? 

Consider existing.  The cause of existence arouses much debate.

But time. For some reason, the vast majority of us acknowledge its existence.

 

Why argue over pointless things?

Why argue at all? Time is far spent, and it is running out.

 

Because we designed it to.

 

Time. It's a child of our thought. A child of our minds.

A child, born out of a need to control more than just the physical world around us.

 

A child, designed to control yet another dimension.

 

Some of us make the most of it. Some, falter and waste it away, for we designed it with that ability:


To be wasted. To be used. To be gained. To be recorded. 

Just as the world around us can, so now can the entropy of the universe.

 

This entropy, is also a subject of debate. But why? Whether this Universe has a beginning or end, or both, 

We must embrace the Now.

 

Embrace the Now, before the Now loses its grip on you.

The Now is far greater than the Tomorrow or the Behind Us.  

For only Now can be manipulated. Now affects the Tomorrow.

 

Behind Us is just that.

 

Embrace the quantity of Time. Embrace the purity and the smallness of your quantity.

 

Yes, some are destined with larger or smaller quantities.

But our quantities still may influence and be influenced.


Shall you influence your quantity?

 

When Tomorrow becomes Now,

 

What then?

Working as a Camp Councilor

 Being a camp councilor is…. not what I was expecting. Today was my first day and to say the least it was one of the funnest days I’ve had this month.  For starters I was surprised to find out I’ll being working with 4-7 year olds all week….. I knew I’d be working with them for the morning but I found out after/during my lunch break that I’d also be working/being a councilor for them in the afternoon as well.  Oh my gosh these kids are adorable. So the first group I worked with was in the morning from 9–12. I played with a kid named Andy, he was a little bit anti social but I got him to play so that was nice. I also talked to a girl named Eleanor, she was actually the first kid I interacted with. When you ask kids at camp if they want to make friends there, I found out that the majority of them are nervous/shy and arnt confident in their friend making abilities. Eleanor and Andy were in that category.  In the first camp I lead one of the games, it’s where I called ou...

Finally, Running.

I joined a triathlon club at BYU, and it was great! I met a lot of really cool people who all liked running. We did a 16x 400m workout on the BYU track, but I ended up only doing 12 reps, because I was still getting acclimated to the altitude. I instantly clicked with the group, and had a great time. It felt like track back at HSE, but with people who were more focused on the Gospel. We even started out with a prayer, which I'm still getting used to, but is really cool considering that never happens in Indy.

Sunday Productivity

Today was probably one of the best Sundays I've had in a long time. I found out which ward I was supposed to go to, and had a great sacrament meeting and sunday school. A speaker I really liked was the stake president of the area (I don't remember his name), and he gave a talk on how faith is different and personal for everyone. He explained that water was special to Moses, and that's why so many miracles were related to water when God helped Moses. (Parting of the Red Sea, Turning the River into blood, hitting the rock and having water come out, etc). Faith is different for everyone and is personal for everyone, just like the Atonement. In Sunday School, I got to have a discussion about D&C 79 and 80, which were directions given by God to some missionaries. One part that really stuck out to me and the group was D&C 80:3, which reads:  Wherefore, go ye and preach my gospel, whether to the north or to the south, to the east or to the west, it mattereth not, for y...
