I am obsessed with the Mormons. This is a fairly recent phenomenon. I had several Mormon friends in high school, and never really thought twice about it. Back then I was a Baptist, and was pretty sure they were going to hell anyway, so why be concerned about it? Well now as a good Episcopalian seminarian, I am just completely fascinated with their theology. I mean seriously... where did Joseph Smith get this stuff?! Especially their doctrine of the Trinity... wow.
But the purpose of this post is not Mormon-bashing. I spent quite some time perusing the LDS website the other day, and I highly recommend it if you're bored sometime. I have also decided that I must see the inside of one of the temples. We unbelievers are allowed to enter the temples before they are consecrated during an "open house." There is a brand new temple in San Antonio and I have decided that I need to see this place during the open house in April. I need to get to work on that.
Side Note: David Sedaris will be in D.C. soon. The bad news? Tickets are $30... ouch.
