A Mormon blog addict.
I don’t know what it is, people, but I cannot get enough of these things.
The fetching ensembles they wear, the photographs of their vintage wallpapers, the surprisingly sassy references to married sex, the baked goods, the allusions to mysterious LDS practices, the cozy family gatherings. It’s like reading a Laura Ingalls Wilder novel with a bonus chapter on red lipstick and Sprite.
If I weren’t a devoted atheist, rabid gay rights supporter, and overall hippie skip, I’d totally get onboard; I just happen to disagree with 91% of their beliefs. It’s no one’s fault.
I’ve heard Mormon dudes bitch about the huge disparity between the missions they go on and the women’s assignments (Savannah, Georgia vs. Siberia - etc) but what they’re not getting, is these mostly-by-women blogs will end up converting wa-ay more people than any knocking-on-foreign-doors-in-ill-fitting-suits will ever do. They are – by far, by leaps and bounds - the best Mormon PR that ever was.
Lord knows it wasn’t this chick.
