Latter Day Sinner

I’m sitting in the easy chair drinking an Orange Cream Coca-Cola. I started several theological arguments today. But they are with two people I have never met in real life. The theology in my head is not the theology of my hands. I change diapers, I cook food, and I wash laundry. Sometimes I help with furniture or groceries. And then I ask, “Have I done any good in the world today?” I can think anything I want about Kolob but if it doesn’t inspire me to service then it’s useless. I can quote the Book of Mormon, the Bible, or the Quran, but if that doesn’t make me more useful to other human beings, it’s an exercise in futility. I walked to the store with my son and bought us treats and that is more important than any kind of argument I could have online. So I think I will finish my soda and remind myself that I can’t through reason compel anyone to my various points of view.
