[Moksha]

Feel free to give me more advice.

Rotate your tires.

[Jersey Girl]

Go ahead and answer that, DT.

Feel free to give me more advice.

Feel free to answer the question that ajax posed to you regarding me.

[IWMP]

DId EA die and I didn't get the memo? ANyone know anything about his status?

I am wondering the same.

I'm wondering that too. I greatly admired his intelligent and knowledgeable posts and I miss them.

One of the last things I remember him talking about was him having a rough time dealing with COVID. That's why I ask.

Doubting Thomas? Has EA gone? Or do you mean not literally?

He’s probably incorrect that’s he’s found peace in Christ; I mean, come on, but for true believers that does go a long way.

Peace came almost immediately when I invited the spirit into my life. And I've always believed in eternal rewards and blessings. But what about right now? Happiness right now? I thought it impossible. But you don't really have to know how it's possible, you only need faith that our Lord can heal us. You see Doubting Thomas, you don't get to choose how people treat you. None of us do. The only thing that ultimately matters is how you treat other people. If you wish you had better friends, then choose to be a better friend. If you wish you had a more loving girlfriend or spouse, then be a better spouse. Because the kind of person you become is the kind of people that you'll spend eternity with.

Read this Elder Uchtdorf's talk Doubting Thomas. Here's a snippet

The peace He gives us is not like what the world gives.10 It’s better. It’s higher and holier. Jesus said, “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”11

The gospel of Jesus Christ is truly the “good news of great joy”!12 It is a message of matchless hope! A message of yoke-bearing and burden-lifting.13 Of light-gathering. Of heavenly favor, higher understanding, holier covenants, eternal security, and everlasting glory!

Joy is the very purpose of God’s plan for His children. It’s what you were created for—“that [you] might have joy”!14 You were built for this!

Our Father in Heaven has not hidden the path to happiness. It is not a secret. It is available to all!15

It is promised to those who walk the path of discipleship, follow the teachings and example of the Savior, keep His commandments, and honor covenants they make with God. What a remarkable promise!

I can't remember who it was, but after EA left, somebody claimed to have been in communication with him and that he was doing fine.

Honerentheos has claimed that EA leaving had something to do with an argument with him, if I remember right.

[Doctor Steuss]

The only thing that ultimately matters is how you treat other people. If you wish you had better friends, then choose to be a better friend. If you wish you had a more loving girlfriend or spouse, then be a better spouse.

Thank you, sincerely, for this gentle reminder.

Sometimes, I let the old crotchety side of me win out. It's always good to be nudged back into the brighter side of life.
