ATOMS stands for "Aaron's 'Things of My Soul'". As such, this blog is a compilation of my spiritual thoughts and insights as I study the scriptures, pray in faith, and have daily experiences. These things are the symbolic atoms that make up my life, and are personal to me. With the belief that "there hath no temptation [or experience or trial or joy] taken [me], but such as is common to man" (1 Corinthians 10:13), I post them in the hope that they bless someone, somewhere, somehow. If it be one soul, my joy is full.

Please feel free to browse, to search, to comment, to correct false doctrine you find, and to let me know if they have been positively (or negatively) influential to you.

It is my prayer that we all sail the seas of life with happiness, and obtain the wonderful blessings that God has in store for us, including living with our righteous loved ones forever, the answers to every question in life, and eternal happiness.

My posts are not to be taken as the official doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They are a reflection of my progressive learning and growing into said doctrine, though.

Ironies

A simple list of the ironies of the Gospel. They are truths that we need to believe in life.

- God owns worlds without end, beauties of nature, wonders of the universe, powers beyond comprehension... yet, of most worth and importance to Him, is us.

- The being who lived life perfectly, who loved without error, who is the truth, the way, and the life, was also the being who suffered the most.

- A baby - before, during, and after birth - has hardly done anything for his/her parents. Yet, loving parents give their lives to their baby's nourishment, teaching, raising, progression, joy... Heavenly Father views us in this way.

- God has established this life, such that by giving, we receive. In keeping, we lose. A testimony grows by sharing and giving it. Love grows by giving it.

- The one being in life who never forsook the Father in His ways, His thoughts, His life and devotion, His loyalty, became the one to lose the Father's presence during the Atonement, for no fault or mistake of His own.
