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.

The Father's Compliment

"Behold my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, in whom I have glorified my name—hear ye him."

Today I focus on the word "well."

Or more like the compliment "well."

From the beginning of the creation of the world, Heavenly Father kept His eyes on the prize of creating things that are good.

His stamp of approval is the best stamp of approval anything and anyone can have: of the Lord looks upon yoir efforts and says, "it is good" or "it is well," could there be any greater a compliment?

True joy in this life comes from seeking the approval of the Father - seeking it from anyone else is to ask for trouble, for confusion, for a depreciation of identity. It is only The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost from whom we should seek the confirmation that we are on the right path.
