I am not a big fan of the LDS Church's holiday media campaigns that use formulated hashtags, although I am not a strong critic either. This year, however, I have seen a few "Give Thanks" Facebook posts from LDS friends that have brought a smile for their unorthodox authenticity. I have seen people u...

Honestly, I accept their invitation and find a way to teach them a perspective from the scriptures they hadn't considered previously. We have had some long, fun conversations (including about mistakes missionaries make in the way they teach the Gospel) - but I am confident enough to do something lik...

I am a good example right now of greatly reduced participation over the last few months. I have been crazy busy at work, for a number of reasons I can't get into here. I have been working a lot of overtime hours, so my "free time" has had to be focused on staying in touch with family and close frien...

I try to be a good person, which is complicated.

That is good enough for me.

If it is important to you to declare a status, send an email. Done. If it is not important to you to declare a status, ignore the requests to do so - or, this year, just say you are being super careful about going anywhere you don't need to go and say you are paying what you can during this difficul...

I go to support people I love, especially those who don't fit the stereotypical mold.

I am not shy, and I know how to say unorthodox things in orthodox words (how to speak "Mormonese"), so I go so other unorthodox members hear someone saying things in a way that helps them in their journeys.

I have had the opportunity recently to speak for people who are being judged in a similar situation as the post describes. Due to my work with those people, I was able to provide critical information that was impossible for the others to know just from dry facts on a piece of paper. For multiple peo...

Happiness for me right now centers on family and personal fulfillment. I am doing what I love to do for people I choose to serve, and I am enjoying the lives of my children and grandchildren. I work in an environment that can be stressful, but I am at peace with it. I guess, for me, happiness is tie...

Late response, but my small ward is back to alternate weeks of Sacrament Meeting in order to keep the numbers down and be able to socially distance.

Due to the restrictions of my job, I haven't attended for months - but I do join online Sunday School now and then when I can.

I was ecstatic to see the announcement when it happened. I hope the LDS Church can find a way to the same conclusion. It would be an important step to me and a lot of people I know.
