Do You Wonder About the Source of Meaning?
Dear Heather,
I really enjoy the way you conduct a path through our disagreements. You are tough, but open to differences. As we have agreed from the first, to achieve real disagreement is a long-term task; it takes a lot of brandies sipped slowly together (so to speak) to get past the misunderstan

I can see why you are an award winning writer,I loved how you told of being a Mormon on the wrong political side,I am the same,but in my ward I”m treated with respect,kindness and prayers.
The calling I have has been held for me as a home teacher for along while,My friends know as do I that the illness I have can’t be cured but can be improved,so once again I can do what GOD asked of me.
I am a Mormon,Christian my heart is full of joy,I would only like to see the
people who say they are Christians and belittle Mormons in ways that are unbelievable to act as they talk,share their wealth with the Disabled,Elderly,
hungry and poor, be a better person to all of GODS children on this world.
“Maybe these attacks means they expect more from us as a people” President Hinckley.
Please keep your writing going,I’m sure you are filling a calling.Thanks
