And it be recieved...

Well I'm a bit more awake than I was, and mostly because of someone that I hope will prove to be a friend, at least for a time. He's already made it onto a list that has all too few names, but it's nice to have someone like that again, someone whom not only knows their faith, but will talk about it.

Yeah, I'm at it again. Trying to understand the Mormon faith. With so many people in the state so sure that it's the right path, you can't help but look. And before you get all in my face and decide how anti-mormon I am, I'm going to make some mistakes that might offend you, but I am making the effort to understand your beliefs. That, I'm sure, counts for something.

Anyways, I interupted the poor guy to ask him what he had just walked out of. And it turned out to be one of Marisha's classes, which I had seen her anyways, and he realized that I was reading the Bible. My grandfather's uber miniature version. And it took off from there until minutes ago when he had to run to class lest he be late.

Anyways, he had a lot of good answers to some of my questions. Something that it's been months since I've had (good answers). And I agreed that after my study of the Bible I would read the Book of Mormon. He offered, and this will be the second that I've taken, but I haven't ever even read a scripture out of it until today (to my recollection anyways). But as opposed to the bulk of what I feel Mormons would do, I agreed to take it and read it. I approach my faith and knowledge building from both ends: mine and the one most contrary (which in a case between my system and the Mormon system... that only leaves the two ends). Anyways, I find it best to find and refine the points of each until you're looking at something that basically everyone can agree on. I don't find too much of that with my counterparts, but it's not necessarily a fault I hold against them, but one I don't intend to duplicate.

But I walked off with a smile, and we swapped numbers, I'm sure he'll be anxious to get me into some sort of events, but I attend those sparringly and with good motivations (like family and very close friends). Anyways, maybe I'll manage to bring up some more good points for him later. Like most, he had differences in perception of some things, but it was much the same as a few others that I've spoken with. It's more interesting to see what they have different and the same (those speaking to me), than what they are saying, sometimes...
