Something to Ponder This Week (2008 08 04)

As I was pondering upon what to recommend for pondering this week ;-) , a passage from the Book of Mormon came to mind. It reads like this: "...for there is a God, and he hath created all things, both in the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are, both things to act and things to be acted upon" (see 2 Nephi 2:14, emphasis added). Ever since I was about 16 years old, this concept of acting or being acted upon has caused me to reflect upon the way I live my life. Do I choose the current of my life or does the current of life choose me? Certainly you and I cannot control everything that happens, but we do hold the rudder...or at least we can.
