Can anyone verify this quote? And isn’t it FANTASTIC?

‘Brigham Young guessed publicly that there was a lot more singing and dancing in heaven than in hell, and he saw no reason why the saints should imitate the hot place.’ –Wallace Stegner’s ‘Mormon Country’, page 18 of the 2003 paperback edition.

What is wrong with food?

It was so hot. The dashboard felt like I could fry an egg on it. So I stopped at 7-Eleven for a drink. When I saw the Slurpee machine…I. fell. in. love. Slurpees always remind me of home. My mom owned a bookstore in the small Utah town where I grew up and across the [...]

Yeah. About that.

I’ve been having so much fun on Goodreads, gathering the books that I want to read, rating the books that I have read, that I’ve actually neglected to READ. And I don’t claim to be too intelligent but isn’t that kind of the point? It’s kind of like when I’m making lunch and realize that [...]

The Modesty War

Sometimes I can be what my mom likes to call ‘beligerent’ about certain topics.

Detailed Bloggersnacker Directions

The nice lady at Murray Park gave me detailed directions and I thought I’d pass them along.  If you enter the park from 330 East Vine, pass the pool, and park in the next parking lot, there is a nice shady area near the playground for us to meet.  See you there tomorrow from 5-7 [...]

Word Challenge!

I’ll pick a word and you, in the comments, do a quick free-write of a paragraph or two with your best interpretation of the word. Today’s word is: Falling

An American in an International Church

What is left of the steam from the potato salad rises slowly, stops just above the dish and descends. Forks are scraping plates with hungry vigor, sausages are being passed from place to place, the vegetables, freshly-bought are crisp with life. Each mouth opens and closes, eyes sometimes follow. A slow, soft sound of pleasure [...]

Book Review from a book snob, “Hunting Gideon”

While Deborah was defending her non-book-snob status last week, I was also coming to terms with my own. And I guess here is where I must admit that I’m a bleeding-heart-book-snob. I think there are books filled with nuance and beauty and books that are thinly veiled propaganda abounding in oversimplification and poor writing (and [...]
