I've joined a new club
I have joined up with the "Mo Life Blog Club," started by the writer of my favorite Mormon-themed site, "Dave's Mormon Inquiry." I am not obliged to blog about Mormon stuff regularly, but am expected to occasionally touch on Mormon themes. Since I am still a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and expect to remain one, I think I will be able to come up with something occasionally.
I know most of my regular readers here are affiliated, at least tangentially, with the Disaffected Mormon Underground. I love you guys. Please don't scare away the faithful, who I hope will get to be regular readers and commenters on Life, The Universe, and Everything, and not just "The C." Y'all have been really cool about my "no cussing" rule, so I expect that my (very) occasional comments about The C will not send any of you into the slough of despond.
I don't expect what I write will be especially faith-promoting, but I don't expect to be especially critical, either. Many of my most favorite humans are LDS.
Feel free to check out any of the links on the "Mo Blog Club" on the right. Oh, and if you want to sign up, head over to Dave's Mormon Inquiry and post a comment saying "I want to join the club."

The recent edition of Time magazine had an article on bloggers. In a nutshell, the consensus is that bloggers are very opinionated -- and that's why blogs are so fun!
Opinionated blogs about politics are either hilariously funny, or depressingly informative. Opinionated discussions of the Mormon religion are downright addicting.
Good luck, good reading, and good times I wish you :)
Welcome to the club, Ann. I look forward to reading your blog more often. :)
Sounds interesting. I'm at peace with the notion that despite my near-total unbelief in doctrine and dogma, I'm still a Mormon. It's just a large part of who I am.
And I've learned to accept religious diversity. Sometimes I even appreciate it. I even have a RM and an LDS professor in one of my classes and after the obligatory "they don't seem LDS", I realized that that had no more bearing on my opinion than if they were Jewish or Episcopalian or Catholic.
Now the cussing part has been more difficult. :)
Welcome to the Club, Ann. Visitors are always welcome too, of course. Friendly conversation about interesting topics is what keeps the blogosphere humming, IMHO.
