Mormonism

so... i was sitting outside at the park again. this time i was sitting under a tree as to not get too burned. live and learn. but it was interesting. these mormons came up to me. i saw em coming and wondered if they would come up to me... and sure enough they did. i let them do there talk. but once they got to the jesus coming to america i had to tell them i thought they were wrong. they were ok with that. grateful i gave them the time. we talked a little. they gave me the book of mormon and then were on their way. they actually asked me if they could come back and talk to me another day. i said i dont know... i might not be sitting here that day... but who knows. so i have this book of mormon. it got me thinking actually. because i had to speak at youth today. and i thought. i cant just let this pass without using it. so i gave a little test to the youth group. most could not tell the difference between the new testament and the book of mormon. interesting. but i didnt stay on that... that was just a point. it was just an interesting day... wasnt expecting that encounter.

What did you talk about at youth?

I like that you're going to the park. That's really cool.

umm... i said something to the effect that if you dont totally engulf yourself with the scripture... that you will be more easily deceived. and that you need the word when you go out into the world. to not try to fit the world to the bible... but use the bible as the foundation. that falling is inevitable... but if you are deep in the word you will at least have something to fall back on... and that if you dont know it and live it... it is hard to get back up...
