The sun is moving away...

The other day we were walking into Winco as the sun was setting.  Someone said (I think it was a kid-let) that the sun was moving away from us.

"We are moving away from the sun.  In the morning we will return to it."

I know that doesn't seem as profound in print.  Yet, it struck both Brian and I how true that is in all senses of our own relationship with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

They are always there for us.

We choose to leave their presence by transgressing Their laws.  Sometimes we go back halfway and expect them to be there.  They can't, or they wouldn't be Gods.  We must go back all the way.

Occasionally we get ourselves into bad predicaments by our choices and expect them to bail us out.  They have never been opposed to leading me out...but only on choice occasions have they bailed me out (such as when I drowned; apparently they wanted me alive...and I'm very grateful).

"VERILY, thus saith the Lord: It shall come to pass that every soul who forsaketh his sins and cometh unto me, and calleth on my name, and obeyeth my voice, and keepeth my comandments, shall see my face and know that I am;" D&C 93:1
