On Devotionals and "A Baha'i Perspective": Gerald's Vision Becomes All-Embracing
It is thrilling to read 16 year-old Gerald's posts of discovery as he continues to write of his investigation of the Baha'i Faith on his blog Walking the Ninefold Path: My personal journey to faith through the glory of Baha. He has attended his first devotional with Baha'is of Nampa, Idaho. He continues to deepen his understanding of the Faith using the Internet as a connection to the world and has been listening to interviews on "A Baha'i Perspective". -gw
A Baha'i Perspective
I heard something when listening to a series of interviews on the show “A Baha’i Perspective” that made so much sense to me, and a thought that previously seemed like evidence for the fallacy of religion.

Perhaps it would have made sense to make a post about it, but I don't make much sense sometimes, but I declared on the 12th day of Ridvan. I have allot to learn, and I look forward to it. I can't say that there are not things I wil have to learn to better understand, but Baha'u'llah is the Manifestation of God for our age, and the Bab his forerunner as well as an Independent Manifestation, and nothing but the Reality of god is truer to me, so I have no doubt I will figure those things out. Like homosexuality, which made no sense to me, I just realized it made sense after declaring, and I made a post about it.
