I just read your article "Confessions of a Morman Wife" over at CNN.com and felt inclined to reach out and contact you through your blog. I personally thought your article was very well written and one that can apply to everyone regardless of religious beliefs or ideology. While I personally don't agree with everything the LDS church teachers, I will admit that I'm very clueless to many things about the LDS religion as well. However, if there's one thing about the LDS religion and culture that I do like is how the members attempt to strive for perfection in a contemporary world, instead of showing hate people show love and are open to discussing about things if people ask. What makes your article worth commenting about is that you I believe you've opened up some eyes and done things in a very good way that presents the average person with a better understanding of an aspect of the LDS religion and for that I thank you. While both me and my wife are practicing Methodists, I believe for us and the great community of all those with values we can learn something from your article at can.com. Finally, I want you to know that I'm an active duty member of the US Air Force and that me and my family are stationed in the African Country of Djibouti where I work at the US Embassy. Even with this being a predominately Muslim country I'm go to share your article with Muslim friends of mine, because it needs to be shown. I just want to say thank you for sharing, your article was a great read that I will be sharing.
The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These people have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.
