<s>I start school on Aug 26, so I won't be able to do much Wiki for a while...</s>

* OK, I've decided I'm going to try to get involved again. I'm just about to begin school, but have pretty much got my life planned out, for which there is room to do a little Wiki once in a while :)  [[User:Bccomm|Bruce]] 05:01, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

==Religion==
My religious journey has been a bit twisted, but I've found the truth. Essentially and chronologically:

* I loved to study [[religion]].
** I was a skeptic, an [[atheist]]
 for all practical purposes.
** I drank lots of [[coffee]].
** I had a specific addition to [[pornography]].
* I found out (discreetly) that a very close friend of mine was LDS. Very, very, LDS.
* I looked into it and became an anti-Mormon (as in against the church) [[apologist]].
* Eventually, I began to think of my friend again...about what I was doing to what she held sacred.
** She didn't know about any of this at the time.
* On the verge of suicide, I prayed for her salvation.
* Over time, I came to realize how ''I'' was wrong.
** Coming out of anti-Mormonism made me all the more faithful in the Church.
* I have recieved a wonderful and unshakable [[testimony]] of the Restored Gospel.
**My Heavenly Father had put me on the path of tribulation and I was able to find Him because of it.
* I am now a pro-Mormon apologist and firm believer in [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]]

Read the whole story (highly recommended!)* I was baptized into the Church on October 23rd, 2004, by a preparing missionary, the brother of one of my LDS friends.
* I now semi-actively try my best to fulfil my priestly duty to proclaim the Restored Gospel to all who will hear.

Since this was written, I have developed a highly efficient method for making a lectionary, of sorts, based on the standard works of the Church, though this method is not tied to any particular texts.

I hope they call me on a mission... :)
