I HATE RUBIX CUBES!For the main reason that they make me feel like the baby in the picture to the right. I don't get them. My brain feels like it's going to ooz out of me when I even think of rubix cu...nope I can't even write it that's how sick they make me. BUT I had a companion that LOVED them and she could pick any cube up and have it done in 10 minutes.
Apparently if you can finish one it's a sign of intelligence and I would marvel how she could do it, then she finally told me the long awaited secret...She read the Directions. Hmmm. Whatever. I don't need to read the directions. Besides if I do then I will be cheating. And I am no cheater!
Why do I think this way? The directions are there for a reason. To help. But it's my choice to use them. But the prideful me says 'No way, Jose!'.
Raise your hand if you read the directions...
All of them?
That's what I thought.
I don't read all of them either, and then I think, hmmm where is this bolt suppose to go, then it all comes crashing down. Now this is the point where I apply it to life.
READ THE DIRECTIONS
'What directions could there be,' you ask? Simple, the Book of Mormon. It really is that easy. But because of the easiness we don't do it? What?!
It's like the Israelites that needed to only LOOK at the staff and they would be healed, but because it was so simple...they perished! (Tsk, Tsk.)
'There MUST be a harder way,' you say! No. But you will have to sacrifice some of your precious, but useless t.v. time but 'the pain of sacrifice lasts only one moment. It is the fear of the pain of sacrifce that makes you hesitate to do it.' F. Enzio Busche
The scriptures are hear to be our directions. So why do most of us not read them...all the way? I bet you a million rubix cubes that if you do read them that God will not call you a cheater at life. You will not have any missing bolts. And you won't perish! Don't be scared at how easy it is. Love the easiness of it. There are too many other things in this life that are difficult, reading your 'Directions manual' doesn't have to be. I promise that if you do, what ever you are trying to build in this life will be a masterpiece.
