When the opposite of true is not false

Often I have heard of an inverse used to prove something, like if you say there is a God, then someone opposes you and you say, "well, prove there isn't a God."

Likewise, I have tried to prove something false because then it cannot be true. But, If I have failed to prove it false does that really mean it is true?

Just a few thinky things in my head this morning

Just as the Savior will have another time on this earth where hre will rule and reign and all of that stuff (which i am not sure he will enjoy necessarily) which will be better than being tortured and crucified. And his work of atoning is done! so similarly will thing be for us minus the reigning and atoning part. The point is that we can expect all of our due consequences though maybe not as soon as we might prefer. God does keep his promises. In fact he is bound when we do what he asks.

Always follow the voices beneath makes me think of Cain and the choices he made I sincerely asked if he would be forgiven and if the good in him might one day come out triumphant. but this lyric combined with a Fringe bit about someone removing as part of their brain to stop becoming who they must like the idea of Snow White in Once Upon a Time having Prince charming removed from her thoughts as a solution it has other consequences. the task is not to unknow things. but to know and still hope. that is the whole point of mortality to know things and willingly choose the good even if the bad seems better and we cannot unknow things once we know them. That seems very unappreciative to Atonement. The point is that this lyric from Mordred's Lulaby impressed me to conclude that although some are offered the chance to change they are simply not strong enough to endure with the knowledge they have let alone the things they might know which would definitely crush them so unbelief is a sort of protection. Cain is not punished  out of anger but love.

I keep thinking about how in every choice there is one that we should choose and our witness never comes until after the trial of our faith.

I want to make a journal of hymn uh that sounds misleading. It is a memoir of impressions that I get from each hymn. I am as determined as anything to do it.

Heaven, paradise, and rest

It must be examined when I wake up enough to regain my faculties so that I might visit this thought with full intent and intensity. I believe that the following are not necessarily a goal place as much a state of mind that we pass through: Heaven, Paradise, and rest.

Maybe, like almost all of my unoriginal thoughts, they were not made known to me until after I thought them up, then others tell me that someone else already thought that. Like my ground breaking cell theory, that I thought of in an Algebra class, or a theory of realitivity that I thought I had discovered in grade school, and excitedly told my teacher that I thought time changes somehow, though it looked like every second on the clock was the same, it did not feel that way. Maybe that is why we try to seperate religion and science.

Time is money

I never failed to see the obvious regarding money/time relationship in terms of gifts. You either gave your effort directly, or indirectly, by just buying the gift with the money your work had been converted into.

But, this thought startled me in it's abruptness. If you could accomplish so many incredible things with money, you could also use foresight the same, which gives prophecy a huge advantage. I bet that is why I love the show Continuum so much. It toys with the ideas of what you could do with the riches of time. Something tv always does anyway, someone has to plan out an idea, then cast actors, then do the actual work, so any ideas in our present were caused by the past.

How unity works

Marriage is so hard because it is,hard to unify people who are so different. I want to share a story that normally would go undocumented due to it's apparent insignificance.

It was this morning and our little family set off to get a video. I wanted Bambi, and actually got it, but that is beside the point. I suggested we find a movie and asked my husband to look for Bambi. He found two. I picked one and told Joseph to take the other  one because it was torn. Then Nick told him not to because that one was thrashed as he put it. It offended me and it hurt to have my orders repealed because his were better, so I pointed out that it was just the cover and the tape was just fine. I had to examine closer to even see what was supposed to be thrashed. It was then that I got the lesson.

I would have gotten the thrashed one because my standards for measure were different and I would have not noticed until I got home That the exterior damage was,far worse, than I had imagined it even could be, and that made me think about how fortunate I was once I got done being mad. That is how marriage is or any different people trying to achieve unity. It will,be difficult, but very fortunate.
