Good Time

I was in the same ward as Craig (BYU 138th) and we would always discuss politics like there was no end. He knew I was a pretty staunch Democrat and he could actually argue current events, and what was better is that he actually knew what he was talking about! I loved just staying up all hours into the morning debating White House policy, foreign affairs, etc.

But what I loved most about Craig is how he wanted to listen to ME first. He always wanted to hear about my conversion to the church, my testimony, and how it made me feel. He said it always reminded him to breath more fire into his own, and that I gave him the strength to do so. On the nights when we weren't getting ready to almost clobber each other's faces in on different political issues, he was always helping me with my spiritual journey.

Even though I haven't spoken to him in person for years, except for a few occasional times on Facebook, I will always remember him as my political pal, my conversation buddy, and most of all, a true spiritual brother. God Bless You Craig.
