A note from an old coworker...

A past coworker of mine posted online and I really liked it

"I'm one who strongly believes that if something does not have the power to save us temporally (c.à.d. bring us joy in this life), then that something does not have the power to save us eternally (c.à.d. bring us joy in the next life).

To use an analogy, if a teacher is unable to help me truly understand Algebra, then that teacher will be unable to help me truly understand Calculus.

"Line upon line" is a common mormon saying, n'est-ce pas?... Read More

Just as we need to understand Algebra before we'll be able to understand Calculus, we need to be able to find joy in this life before we'll be able to find joy in the next life.

Anyone who has you convinced that joy is not for this life tells you so because they don't know how to help you find joy. If they can't help you find joy now... how the hell are they going to help you find joy then?

Our temporal salvation is just as vital as our eternal salvation. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise."
