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.

Doing Good

One of the most spiritual experiences I have had in my life was in attending a convention before my mission.

It was a week before my mission, and I was on fire! I was pumped to have the best mission I could ever have! What a great opportunity I thought it was, to attend convention with the focus of serving others.

I knelt down before convention, and committed to my God to serve Him at convention, and asked Him to send me those I could bless.

Golly, did He answer my prayer.

I am reminded of the Saviour's example:

“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.”
(Acts 10:38.)

Many speakers shorten the quotation to: “Jesus... went about doing good.”

How are we in our hearts and actions, in going about doing good at work, at school, at church, at home?
