People hate Mormons? Sigh. I guess hatred can be directed anywhere.

I can see how some may not understand Mormons, and some may not agree with Mormon doctrine/practice, but hate? Weird, indeed.

I grew up in a church that did not officially recognize the Mormon religion as Christian. And yet some of the kindest, most generous, best people I knew at the time were, you guessed it, Mormon. I've enlarged my horizons since then. ;-)

Great blog, cute-as-can-be daughter!
