Out of this world impossibility.
As I was laying on my bed earlier, just letting my mind wander to the crazy places it does, I came across something peculiar that I never thought about before, something that I shouldn't even be questioning. But, for some odd reason, I feel like I need to tell people about it, so that they too can ponder on it. I know that some people will call me arrogent or even crazy, but I simply do not care what others have to say. So here goes. As I was laying on my bed, I started to think about a book that I once read about vampires. ( I know, I know, I am afraid to admit that my aunt and I have an addiction to anything vampire.) In the book, these vampires believed in a Goddess named Nxy, just like how we believe in God, our Heavenly Father. The book talks about a fallen angel named Kalona. Kalona was once Nyx's personal warrior who fell from her realm because he loved her too much. I know right! How can an angel fall from loving his Goddess to much! Well in this particular book, Kalona loved his Goddess so much, that he wanted her all to himself, and for her to only love him. Because of this selfish desire, Kalona was cast out of Nyx's realm forever. He then became a very evil angel who raped cherokee women and produced half men, half crow children. His children were also evil just like him. They had sharp claws that could slice your throat in an instant, and they killed and fed on people and their blood. The cherokee people had to retaliate, so they created a cherokee maiden out of the earth to trap Kalona in the ground. Their retaliation worked, and Kalona was trapped in the ground. A hundred or so years later, the cherokee maiden was reincarnated into a girl named Zoey Redbird who is a decendent of Cherokee people. Kalona gets freed from the ground and starts causing mass destruction, and his half men, half crow children are also freed and start killing and feeding on people. Zoey is the only one who can defeat Kalona again. I am not going to get in to too much detail, but anyways, Kalona keeps coming to Zoey in her dreams to try and convince her that if she goes with him, he wont kill her. Zoey learns the truth about Kalona and how he fell from Nyx's realm. She asks him if he can ever be good again and he replies " maybe if you love me, I can be good again." This book sort of reminded me of real life events. Kalona reminds me of the adversary. If you dont' know already, the adversary was once also an angel of our Heavenly Father who fell from heaven because of his selfish desires. This book made me wonder if it's possible for the adversary to want to have Heavenly Father's love again. I know that the adversary may not be able to re - enter heaven again, but maybe it's possible for him to be forgiven. Some people will say that it is not a part of Heavenly Father's plan or that it does not tell of the adversary being forgiven in the bible or the book of mormon. It says in the book of mormon that no matter how big the crime, if we are baptized and repent of our sins with complete sincerity, we can be forgiven. The adversary has done too many awful things to be accepted back into heaven, but I believe that he can be forgiven, maybe not in this lifetime or the next, but I believe anything is possible. We only know what our Heavenly Father has let us know, by the Bible and Book of Mormon, but that does not mean we know everything. Call me crazy, say I don't know what I am talking about, but forgive me for having so much faith in things that we believe are impossible. I know most people are too scared to talk about such a topic, but this topic is one that I feel we should ponder on.

A Simple Yet Glorious Rock.
I like to think of myself as a rock. You can throw me around, you can stomp on me, and you could care less for me, but I am not easily broken. I am boring and plain, but look harder at me and you will find that I am magnificent and of God's work. If you think about it, rocks are actually amazing. No rock is of the exact same shape or size. I like to think that we are all rocks, just waiting for someone to look closer and deeper at us to discover our uniqueness and our beauty.
