The temple

I went into this story with an open mind and I actually enjoyed this story. “A temple of the Holy Ghost was an interesting and good read. I liked the metaphor on pg 89 where it says “the poor soul is so lonesome she’ll even ride in that car that smells like the last circle of Hell.” I just liked this line in the story; I just thought it was neat. On page 94 she talks about martyrdom and what she could handle or not. It says “She could stand to be shot but not burned in oil. She didn't know if she could stand to be burned in oil or not.” She didn’t know if she could stand to rip apart by lions or not” The lions liking her too much reminds me of Daniel in the lion’s den in Daniel Chapter 6:1 -28 where Daniel is thrown into the lion’s den but God oh so dependable delivered Daniel out of the den. Daniel faith lives today I don’t know about you but I want to be like Daniel every day. Have the faith he had. The child is choosing her death which really doesn’t happen in a martyrdom situation if so it would be pre mediated so it would be martyrdom. Jesus was martyrdom beyond belief in my eyes being rip to shreds by cat of nail tails then had to carry across on his back , then nails driven into his hands with so much force his wrist breaks. Let’s not forget the crown of thrones oh wait and the spear through the side. Just like Dainel faced his fear and also Biel faced his fear and I think how Jesus faced his fear we need to do the same. Our greatest potential is through our greatest fears.
