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.

Moses: Among the Most Meek

Moses was raised as Egyptian "sovereignty." His life was one without want. But for him it seemed his heart had lied in the people he had as slaves.

He broke the sixth of the ten commandments. His flee sent him to the wilderness. While there he tended flocks of sheep – a life different, but, was he in despair?

He married and became acquanted with the God of Israel. The rest of his life was tilted by a burning bush he found.

From the bush he receieved encouragement, purpose, and faith. All gifts from God that carried him throughout the rest of his days.

Can you imagine being the mouthpiece to turn water into blood? Or calling on the locusts, or freeing slaves from an entire nation?

Can you imagine leading an entire, rebellious nation through wilderness of testing, sieving and repenting?

Nowadays, Moses lives among the Greats. He returned once for Christ, then for Smith. But remember that it started from his obedience to a bush's voice.

What does this mean for us, when our hearts start to burn within? This is when the Saviour is knocking – will you open and let Him in?

If we follow that warm burning, and feed it spiritually, we'll find a life magnificent  in happiness and righteous dreams.

For some it's not a burning. It might be goosebumps or just an idea. But whatever is good cometh from God, so follow it, I beg of you.

For then one day you'll be among the Greats – you'll turn around and see Moses. And reach the Father's embrace. It's His warmth that you and Moses felt from the burning of a heart or a bush.
