PART 06

But I appreciated Bewin as a confidant. He was my closest friend in the Academy. I would make up excuses for him whenever he failed to show up for his assignments.

And as it turned out, he made far less excuses for me than I did for him, solely because he had to work off the pressure of the Academy fees and his bills, while striving to get a theology degree.

PART 05

I did say my prayers, attended my sermons and read my scriptures but I was what you might call a baby - believer in the kingdom....the garthering of christians that is.

The faith to Bewin was a matter of survival - his favourite philosophy was you have to be willing to pray because there has to be a better way.

Sometimes I think Bewin is a bit too mysterious for me to comprehend. I think he is too spiritual to be appreciated as a normal person.

PART 04

I can recall a certain time well into a period Bewin and I were known to be very likely companions - very likely because my belief in religion were synonymous with Bewin's belief in life.

For Bewin, Christianity was a way of life but for me I had not yet encountered closely enough an epiphany or a touch of God, to take the faith seriously enough.
