I have no real desire to experience crashing into a telephone pole at 80 mphs. However, I wouldn’t mind hand-stitching up my own knife wound, or digging a bullet out of my leg or something.
Thats funny…. you and I are so much alike! (smile)

Thank you for your feedback… I appreciate all of you for taking the time to reply to my first post. 🙂 Jacob
DevilsAdvocate, Where does it start, and when does it stop? If I had been told all of my life that Avacados taste like crap… and never taste one for myself… It just seems unfortunate to me, to take someone elses word for it, and to not have the experience myself. Especially with Costco chips and salsa.
Arwen mentioned bungee jumping…., go for it! I never have, but look forward to that experience when it presents itself in my life…. With open arms experience it… If you choose to never do it again, that’s fine. You dared to Live!
I find myself listening to the little voice in my head more and more… and less and less to others. I feel that many many people are carrying around way to much baggage…. Life so simple… My life is truly blessed when I follow the promptings of my soul / the Holy Ghost ( I feel ).
My heart to yours,
Jacob
Thank you Roy, and Ray for your replies…. I am going to love being in this group! I totally agree with using wisdom ( re: alcohol and cigarettes ) I was using that as an extreme example. The point I was driving at was the small, closed minded box that some LDS members build, or have built around them. From the age of 5 the LDS church did not make sense to me. How could my Heavenly Father love me… and then send me here to earth with 168 rules to follow or I’m going to hell? I’ve always felt, and am now verbally expressing and living, that my time on earth is to experience joy, heart ache, love, hate, gratitude, abundance, peace, oneness and on and on and on… Then to return to my Heavenly Father and have Him give me a big hug and ask, “How was Earth? Did you have a good time? Did you experience all that your heart desired? That’s wonderful! I Love You!” That is what my soul says, that is what my heart says… Sooo in the past, I have had a difficult time when other doctrines have been “the only truth” on the face of the earth? Many, many years of deep depression… Thinking I was wrong, unsightly, unworthy of His love…. But no longer! I now honor others for who and what they are…. But above all honor my feelings and my relationship with my soul, and my Heavenly Father.
I feel that He and I have a plan, and I have so much more to give, and to experience here on Earth…. Come with me Roy… The view is beautiful from the top of the mountain!
This is where I am at today… My heart to yours,
Jacob
