My children are approaching their teenage years, and I had always planned on teaching them a little about Mormonism in this part of their lives. <BR/><BR/>Neither has ever been to Utah, nor have either of them ever been to a Mormon service. The religious Mormons they know (my relatives) have been horribly abusive to them and to their mother in our limited interactions.<BR/><BR/>I hope that you'll keep this blog intact, at least for a while. It can be useful to illustrate the fact that not all Mormons are true-believing nutcases. Some of them do think for themselves and some of them even have the courage, occasionally, to make their own decisions.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/>GregGrégoirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13610633478542798268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754038974641979372.post-37235274093150182392009-02-25T18:21:00.000-08:002009-02-25T18:21:00.000-08:00Lisa, this is my first, and obviously last visit t...Lisa, this is my first, and obviously last visit to this blog. It is interesting that you are retiring for the reasons you are. I am in the same situation. My disaffection with the catholic church has dominated my time and energies far too long, and I have allowed many things of interest (ecclectic assemblage art especially - some of which is posted on facebook) to languish. I applaud you for the decision.COL55https://www.blogger.com/profile/07057765287988790129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754038974641979372.post-79756453098485134652009-02-21T23:12:00.000-08:002009-02-21T23:12:00.000-08:00wow, just barely found your blog as you're hanging...wow, just barely found your blog as you're hanging it up. best of luck and thanks for that Nibley quote.englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03526923094522874408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754038974641979372.post-39947569250860425252009-02-19T20:51:00.000-08:002009-02-19T20:51:00.000-08:00Life is so crazy.

I feel like every time I am thinking about something, I come to your blog and you have written about the same.<BR/><BR/>Over the last couple months I have become obsessed with reading blogs about controversial issues and the church. I realized all this was really bringing me down, and I was spending way too much time complaining. Last weekend I realized I needed to take a break from the internet. I got on tonight to just check things out and low and behold it seems as though you have written about the same things I have been thinking about, again.<BR/><BR/>I am still going to church- I don’t see myself stopping anytime soon. However I have decided to begin my own search for spirituality and how to have it in my daily life. I’m going to be reading about mindfulness, meditation, and yoga for starters. Good luck with everything, I’ve enjoyed reading your thoughts.shannon jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473907524887428072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754038974641979372.post-67958195530773216682009-02-19T16:56:00.000-08:002009-02-19T16:56:00.000-08:00Until next time, I will miss your thoughts.

I was enjoying your posts on politics and writing and books and such. Hopefully you'll be able to start a new blog sometime where your focus is on something that can give you more happiness. You should be writing, it's a talent you have.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!
