This morning I walked into the kitchen and found an empty Trader Joe’s ice cream cone box on the floor. I called Birdie’s name and heard the pitter patter of her running away. I caught her trying to go downstairs with four ice cream cones.

Just admitted a sweet old lady with COVID pneumonia. She is immunosuppressed and got her two shots and the booster. She did everything right but our society failed her. Utah’s vaccination rates are still too low to protect our most vulnerable patients. And Omicron is here.

Testimony meeting is always a wild ride. Lady in church got up to say “inclusion” and “diversity” are great but we shouldn’t let loving other people get in the way of the first great commandment, to love God. What?! I’m aware of no better way to love God than loving His children.

Love this faux outrage pearl-clutching about family values from the guy who just endorsed a serial sex offender for president, who told Christian voters, “In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not going to have to vote.”
It was a 4-hour long opening with lots of rain and apparently we missed a few things. I’m seeing video of a blatant mockery of a sacred event that my faith cherishes (the Last Supper of Christ). I can’t wait for the opening ceremonies in 2034 (like 2002) to showcase Utah values

Why do Mormons love guns so much
There's no religious tradition in the United States where a majority of households owns a gun.
46% of white evangelicals say that they own a gun or someone in their household does.
LDS are next at 41%.
Only 16% of Jewish households have a gun. It's 7% of Hindus.
