Musings of a Feminist Mormon

Hello everyone-

I wrote this post on Sunday while wearing my Sunday dress shorts and humming hymns only written by Eliza R. Snow. 

I think it was the warm welcome of my new ward, or maybe it was the funny prank the leadership pulled when they called Josh and I to callings, then quickly released us, and then called us again to the same callings, and then quickly released us again, just for fun. Either way since moving to Oregon my liberal heart is full. For the first time in my life it's like I'm wearing sunglasses with both tinted lenses in. 

This year I've read the Exponent, and FMH, and occasionally exposed my shoulders. I was totally on board for wearing pants to church but that would have required going to the dry cleaners. With all of that, however, something is still missing. I feel like I need more. I need ACTIVISM. 

So....

I am planning on standing in line to request entrance to the Saturday Priesthood leadership meeting of  my next Stake Conference in just two weeks. I will live blog the whole experience. I've told Josh that he must be there to capture my tearful courageous moment on video. He's a little annoyed because he was planning on faking a cold to stay home and watch X-Men cartoons with Brody. 

Where has all this exuberance come from? The W.O.L.R at the YMCA. 

What is the W.O.L.R.? 

I'll tell you all about it next week, stay tuned!

I so want to be there at Sarah's stake conference priesthood meeting. How fun would that be. My next question would be. Do they have Stake Conference Priesthood Meeting? I say GO SARAH.

I am just relieved Sarah finally has both lenses in her sunglasses. Maybe, I will actually visit her this summer! LOL!

I will go with you Thera to visit her as long as while at the park for a play date with our kids the conversation with Sarah doesn't start out with "Have I told you about this massage...." I don't want to freak people out. And more importantly if the conversation does go that route, then I pray to the high Heavens she has both lenses in...
