I'm a player. A hymn-player, actually, specifically on the pianoforte. (Yes, yes, it was a lame opening, I know. :)) It's been going on for the last ten-ish years, starting in seminary and running like a musical thread throughout my mission (every week in sacrament meeting, and ...
This'll be my last Prop 8 post for a while. I'm tired of all the confrontation. I'm tired of doubletalk. I'm tired of arguments that don't make any sense.
But I'm standing my ground. I still support the Church 100% in pushing Prop 8, primarily because I ...
The Prop 8 protesters have reached a new low. They've gotten hold of lists of the Mormons who donated to the campaign, and they're now calling those people's employers and railing on them for hiring bigots. (My mom has a friend in California whose employer got one of those phone ...

My friend Rachel sent me this excellent quote from Elder Holland about dating:
"You want capability, safety, and security in dating and romance, in married life and eternity? Be a true disciple of Jesus. Be a genuine, committed, word-and-deed Latter-day Saint. Believe that your faith has everything to do with your ...
Figured I may as well make this a trilogy. :) I've recently been realizing that the way I've been doing things hasn't always been the best way, and I'm finally to the point where I can change, for real. It's going to take some massive shifting around of ...
