It is almost a sort of callousness

I must reaffirm to myself that justice is for all. Those who choose a different happiness or peace will be rewarded as well as any other. Most specifically I refer to those who deny there is a God. That must hurt so much to give those you love the option to deny you and it is just to allow them to feel justified afterall with their reward or gratified in learning they were right. Still, it must be allowed. It pains me to think of loved ones who decide that God does not exist. I would like to think that they never realize there could have been more or that considering such only reminds them of how correct they are.

In college I described a belief in Jesus Christ like this: it is like a golf hole, it might be easier to just start with the ball teetering on the hole then tap it in and feel fulfilled at the accomplishment, but instead members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are on the edge of the roughage just hoping for a land on the green let alone a hole in one. I used that metaphor to explain the various degrees of Glory and each being equal to what was earned in mortality. In my philosophy class my view was supported by a professor who asked my Baptist peers in they would be able to remember me at all in Heaven, as they claimed that I would be in Hell. The teacher suggested one could not be at peace in Heaven knowing others were suffering so they must not be able to remember or something.

Further a book I read by C.S.Lewis documented the travels of those deserving hell filling a bus and traveling to heaven only to consider it he'll as who was allowed and how uncomfortable it was to be there. They wanted to go home to Hell where they belonged.

I suggest that each reward will be just and those loved ones who do not believe as we do I hope they never learn of any error of their way and that they feel justified in always thinking they were correct.

The most interesting thought is that I do pray that if I ever become blinded and start to value things other than they truly are eternally that someone care enough to help me course correct. For example: Even if I see no worth in a certain type that is most desirable under actual circumstances that I not be granted the immediate desires of my heart.

Ok. Bedtime. Thinking time is over.

WINTER BREAK BEGINS!!!!!!!!
