It's always better when we're together....

So I can't even remember the last time I posted. I just know that I have been slacking off on the whole reading and praying thing. I just sometimes fall into bed and don't think about it until I am almost out. Although I know that the last time I prayed God answered it almost immediately. He knows that sometimes I need immediate answers to calm my soul.

I have been reading the ensign more and more these days, I hope that compensates for my lack of reading, although I know deep down that it doesn't.

I have been catching some flack at work for being LDS, it is kinda funny to hear people talk about "how they know" what the church is all about cause 1) they are older than me, so of course they know more. 2) They have friends that told them stuff, and their friends know everything cause they were mormon, or went to BYU. 3) They have looked stuff up. Well it is too funny to hear people say things like:

"What do you mean, you were in Robert's room. I didn't think mormons could even be alone in the same room as a boy. " On watching a movie.

"...don't ask Stephanie, she's a mormon, she doesn't know about that kind of stuff" On alcohol

"... I know all about it, you guys believe in multiple wives and crap." On relationships and dating.

"... It's just sexist, and you know it's only cause your bible was written by a man." On women holding only certain authorities.

I mean seriously if you guys don't want me to defend myself and explain the truth, then don't bring up the questions. I am seriously just getting tired of being classified as mormon and it making the people I work with keep me out a little. Now I really understand why some people don't let anyone know. There is so little understanding and tolerance in the world. Although I just have to stay faithful and honest and keep telling people the truth, whether they believe it or not. As for me, I am gonna keep being mormon, and I am gonna keep dealing with the crap at work, and I am gonna just keep being me. Cause well... i'm the bomb.
