Dear friends (particularly friends who are not of my faith),
I write a lot about my beliefs (duh, duh, duh). Political, religious, social, artistic, etc. I think that most of you probably know this, but in case you don’t, let me kindly inform you that the LDS Church is non-partisan. It is true that the majority of Mormons (myself included) identify as conservative, but we are NOT told who to vote for, or what specific policies/ideologies to accept. Nope, nope, nope.
So if I ever say something out of line (and heaven knows it’s happened), please do not let it be a reflection on the Church as a whole. I try my best, but, contrary to some people’s beliefs, I’m not perfect . Don’t let a silly comment from one Mormon girl color your views of the whole faith. Just don’t, ok? Thanks!
And now, if there are faults they are the mistakes of men; wherefore, condemn not the things of God.

Please still respect the Mormon Church,
even if I say something that makes me a jerk!

my stupid mouth…
Love this post Katherine! I have to remind myself all the time that the actions of one person do not represent the actions of an entire group. It’s so easy to categorize and stereotype people so this is a great reminder! Hope you are doing well.
