I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!
There are times in everyone's lives when we have to drink from a bitter cup. Remember, after you drink the dregs, you will be able to more fully appreciate and savor the sweet.
We all have bad things we have to go through in our lives. It is easy to just give up. But you will gain nothing from the experience. With each adversity we go through, we learn and grow. And once it is over, we are stronger, and able to handle more, and able to help others as they go through problems of their own. And as a result of having to go through trials, we can know what joy truly is. If we did't have pain, and sadness, and grief, how would we even know what happiness and joy are? Remember, Heavenly Father loves us and would never put more on us than what we are able to bear. And the Savior is there to help us carry our burdens. All we need to do is ask.
What lies beneath the oceans and quivers?
Nervous wrecks!

Eyes
I went for my checkup on my eye on Tuesday. My new cornea is doing very well. I receive trewatment from Dr. Asim Piracha at the John Kenyon American Eye Institute in Louisville. The treatment they give their patients there is superb. There are several doctors there, and they can take care of all of your eye care special needs. I reccomend them to anyone who is having problems with their eyes.

Why does God let bad people do bad things?
Why does God let bad people do bad things?
I hear this question a lot. The answer is really very simple. Our Heavenly Father promised us all that we would have free agency. Free choice is the freedom to make a choice. Free agency is the freedom to make a choice, and the freedom to act on that choice. If He stopped bad people before they could do bad things, they would not really have free agency, which is essential to the Plan of Salvation. Then we would be following Satan's plan; which was forced obedience. We all have free agency. Every single one of us. Not just those who are obedient. All of us. I personally prefer to have my free agency. How about you?
Joke for the day: I know the voices in my head are not real, but sometimes they have some really good ideas!
