LDS

I spent three hours on Sunday night talking to Mormons. Fascinating really. I've apparently learned a good deal more than I realized about Christianity and the Bible. Just reading and talking to people in the know.

This all came about because Mary Belle knew a boy of the Mormon persuasion when she lived in New Jersey. Through a series of odd events they ended up in our living room on Sunday.

What I found interesting was that the guy that came over was pretty open to talking to me even though it was readily apparent early on that I wasn't going to be convinced his belief system was “right” any more than he was going to be convinced that mine was.

I don't pretend to know what is "right" incidentally. I just know what works for me.

Still it was an interesting discussion. Especially when towards the end, after both of us had firmly stated our similar yet vastly different view points we end up talking about Macs and digital media for another hour. I want Shake like nobodies business by the way.
