Jesus Christ --> Godhead - Day 13

 D&C 20:28 Which Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are one God, infinite and eternal, without end. Amen.

They will act in their roles as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost for eternity. More questions arise as I think about this idea. I do want them to fill those roles in my existence for eternity, but what of their own lives. Does the Holy Ghost never receive a body to have his own opportunity to be God the Father to his own worlds?

Alma 11:44 Now, this restoration shall come to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, both the wicked and the righteous; and even there shall not so much as a hair of their heads be lost; but every thing shall be restored to its perfect frame, as it is now, or in the body, and shall be brought to be arraigned before the bar of Christ the Son, and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God, to be judged according to their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil.

The process of judgement explained including the need to be resurrected first. How grateful we are for the Godhead and what they mean to our eternal lives.

Mormon 7:7 And he hath brought to pass the redemption of the world, whereby he that is found guiltless before him at the judgment day hath it given unto him to dwell in the presence of God in his kingdom, to sing ceaseless praises with the choirs above, unto the Father, and unto the son, and unto the Holy Ghost, which are one God, in a state of happiness which hath no end.

This idea of singing ceaseless praises bothers me a little, will we really enjoy that? Are there not more valuable things that we could do? Or is this more like not ceasing to pray in our hearts, in worship before God. Suggesting that we can do other work while at the same time worshipping our own God.  I also wonder about the phrase which are one God', why is it so important to include that phrase that way? It is that phrase that confuses so many. I do find myself recognizing that this term God, does allow for recognition of all three at once, knowing already that I see them as individuals. And thinking of other religions and beliefs, for those that have more than one god, they truly did see them as separate in purpose, and function.
