Do you ever sit through a conversation thinking "ya, but", and wanting to inject your thoughts, but knowing they may not be welcome or appreciated, so you stay quiet? (who me???)
I just deleted all that I wanted to say on the subject of eternal life and exaltation.
I don't completely understand how or why this is, but it has been taught to me that it is far easier to steer the horse while seated firmly in the saddle, than it is without that kind of connection. Just how you all gonna steer your horse without your body? Hmmmm?
Suicide will not ensure your exaltation. It will slow you down for a long long time. Cummon you guys, quit thinking suicide is an answer. did anyone ever read about mary withers' son, "Bill" on tom golden's grief and healing? now there was a story about suicide.
suicide is an epidemic, not an answer. before you suicide, seek for understanding. Understanding is the only thing strong enough. I know life is tough and unbearable at times, and maybe there is no hope in certain situations, but life can get better just around the corner. I believe in gifts, and think they are all around us just for the asking.
