Tiny moments

I'm thinking of that moment.  That moment when you have to make a choice. 

You know what the consequences are, you have been taught about right and wrong.

And even if you haven't, you have the light of Christ.

So you are teetering on the edge of that cliff. You stare down at consequence, at your possible disintigration.

Your mind and heart try to protect you, to convince you to stay back.  But your body pushes you, it grinds your insides, and fogs your mind of what you should know. 

And then you leap.  Something wins inside of you and your insides impulse you to action.

It is this moment, this blink of an eye instance, this milisecond in the spectrum of eternity, that leaves me wondering...

What was it that made you dive?  Why did you fail when others resisted?

Is it Resilience?

I have absolutely no idea.

  1. reminds me of the movie The Words with Bradley Cooper. i don't know exactly how it happens when we choose to do wrong but we always think more clearly after the fact. maybe its because we are human and are bound to make mistakes in this life. I honestly dont know but thankfully through the atonement of Christ and our witnesses in this life, we will prevail on Judgement day.

    thanks for the food for thought!
