The Song of the Siren: Shame
Feeling some surprising things today, a range of things. My husband made his post yesterday and I went to bed feeling weird. I had this sense of “wait, are we really doing this?” A part of me was just messing around. But if it’s both of us….is this for real? Earlier in the day he Continue reading

Teams and Jerseys
Last month I posted about getting along with other Christians, and what I’ve experienced as a Mormon when others were suspicious of me. I’ve been thinking more about this. Are Mormons and Christians really at odds? Jeff at Hello Saints (actually I don’t remember if it was Jeff himself or a guest on his Summit) Continue reading

The Spouse’s Perspective
If you prefer to listen instead, a conversation covering much of the same narrative can be found here: Hey there, A’s husband here. After reading her Untangling post the other day, I asked if I could add a guest post giving additional context and perspective. So here we go. As my wife mentioned in her Continue reading

He said he felt like the contract we made at marriage was being altered, and I wasn’t being true to the terms of the contract (Basically that we’d Continue reading

Smithereens and Anger
Last night, I was reading the appendix at the back of Lynn Wilder’s book Unveiling Grace. It’s great to see compilation all in one place about the Mormon doctrines that are contradicted in the Bible. Most of them I already knew. A lot of them I just rolled my eyes and I don’t care about, Continue reading

Working Backwards: Apostasy & Keys
In LDS theology, we say that there is a cycle that has been repeated several times in the history of the world, each time being called a “dispensation.” A dispensation is when God manifests himself to a prophet, reveals doctrine, and establishes a church or group of followers. But inevitably, that church will into apostasy, Continue reading

Relationship with Jesus
What’s your relationship with Jesus like? How do you develop that? In Relief Society (the women’s class at LDS church) about 10 years ago, this question was raised. I loved Jesus. I knew a lot about him. I tried to please Him and do what he would do. But an interactive relationship? I pondered this Continue reading
