Miss-Conceptions

There are so many ideas floating around out there about me.
Who IS this TSM? What does TSM mean, anyway? Why isn't this broad on some serious medications?
I thought I should put a few of them to rest right here, right now.
1. I do not think as much as you drink I do. [...]

Taking a Hunk Out of Mormonism

It's in small print under the bigger news stories on my home page. Hardly noticable, and even when you see it, you might not click it. But I did, because I was really just curious…

Choices and Blessings

I made a choice not long ago. To follow my faith and leave behind some people and places that contradict what I believe and want to stand for. It's been painful, to say the least.
