The Bible is making me grumpy. I'm halfway through Genesis and can't bear the thought of reading another chapter. It's a good story, but when I remember that people actually take it literally, I get upset. I thought this would be easy; I thought I could read a few books, talk to a few people, and then I'd be enlightened. It's much harder than that.
A Jehovah's Witness came to the door today. It should have been a great opportunity to talk to someone and learn more about their faith, but I couldn't even bring myself to invite the guy in. Granted, I was smelly from not showering and had stuff I needed to accomplish, but still. I should have showed some patience and listened to what he had to say.
While I may be failing miserably with my attempts to understand Christianity, I'm doing quite well with my foray into Buddhism. It's only been a few weeks, but I feel like I'm a better person. I've been trying to be nicer to people and to not judge. It's a small step, but it's a start in the right direction.
