But wait, There's more!

       Scenario:

Your home, it's late [like we're talking 1, 2 in the morning], you're watching TV cuz there's nothing to do and you don't want to go to bed, What are you watching?
Answer: Nick At Night?

False!

[we can talk about Bill Cosby another day] 

Try again.

Answer: The History Channel, showing something about German aircraft in WWII 

Incorrect.

[the Luftwaffe is interesting and all, but only long enough to fall asleep]

Make another guess, I dare you. I can personally guarantee it will be wrong.

Answer: The Deadliest Catch
Wro-... actually normally that would be the right answer. I love that show!

[Go Time Bandit!:D] 

That is a good answer but it doesn't lead us to what I'm getting at.

The answer I was attempting to lead you towards is:

Infomercials! 

      What infomercials come to mind when you think of them? For me, The Magic Bullet. The Bow Flex. The Shake Weight. The Slap Chop. THE SNUGGIE! The Showtime Rotisserie Cooker [Set it, and forget it!!!]. But we cant forget the greatest of them all: Oxi-Clean!

     When legendary Pitch Man Billy Mayes pushes a product everyone buys it! how could you resist? With a catchphrase like "Billy Mayes here...", a beard more iconic than the Eiffel Tower, and a voice that could make a megaphone go deaf, there's nothing that man couldn't sell. So naturally when 'ol Billy started commercials for Oxi-Clean, sales went through the roof! Billy only sold good products. Oxi-Clean worked! It could get out anything out of clothes. If you accidentally spilled something or made a mistake and ruined a shirt, Oxi-Clean is sure to restore it to the way it was. Just follow the directions provided and with a little effort you can be lookin' like three easy payments of $19.99! Then as I thought of what exactly Oxy-Clean does to clothing, it reminded me of a similar cleansing Jesus Christ provides for us. 

   " Are you tired of feeling guilt and remorse? Do you feel weighed down by the consequences of sin? Are you looking for lasting happiness? 

Well look no further! 

Introducing: The Atonement of Jesus Christ. Because Jesus Christ loves us, 2000 years ago he provided a way for us to be relieved of those unhappy feelings that come when we break God's commandments and gain salvation. But that's not all, He also made it possible to live with Him and His Father in Heaven after we die. But how do we obtain this amazing gift? With just 5 easy payments of Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Receiving the Holy Ghost, and Enduring Till the End, salvation, too, can be yours! But wait, there's more! As his free gift to you all mankind will be reunited with their perfected immortal body after we die! Don't wait, apply The Atonement to your life today!"

LIFE vs. Real Life

     Who's a fan of board games? [I sure am!] Even though, at times, board games can end up getting way to competitive and you never end up finishing because your friend sold all his property to the person in last place for five dollars, and someone else ends up flipping the board over it. [It's okay, we didn't have to finish the game, i was gonna win anyways...]

Nevertheless!

      Board games don't always end up like that. A lot of the times they are excellent ways to bring families and friends closer together. Through "good, clean, fun!" A lot of board games are great family activities. My brothers and I would wake up in the morning and spend HOURS playing a rousing game of "Risk". [Our mom would usually stop the game cuz it was time to set the table for dinner...] It brought our family closer together.

     Now I may have a lot of good words to say for board games. However, I also have a vexation with them.

Lets put the game "Life" in the spotlight.
 

     Personally, I don't like the game "Life". Never have. Setting up the game takes twice as long as it does to play. Once you  find the correct places for all the buildings and bridges, you have to set up your life. And as soon as you draw the lowest salary and the highest priced home, you wanna quit. Trying to get the spinner to work right is a whole different aggravation. My point is, "Life" is not a pleasant game. My biggest objection toward the game is that, playing it as a kid, it didn't accurately prepare me for life at all! It doesn't mention anything about awkward situations, or rejection. It doesn't say anything about Satan's trials and temptations. And it certainly doesn't mention how our main goal in life is to live right so we can live as families with God in Heaven after we die. The classic American game "Life" doesn't include the only thing that really matters in this life, The Gospel of Jesus Christ.
     In life there's the famous question, "What is the meaning of life". The meaning of life is to prepare to meet God in the life that follows after we die. And we do this through becoming followers of  Jesus Christ, and  His Gospel, and doing the things that our Heavenly Father asks us to do. Those of you who don't know about Jesus Christs Gospel and would like to learn and feel for themselves the happiness it brings, please look me up on Facebook or click here.
