Not Mormon, but I love your take on your church and your faith. I just wanted to say, it is crazy weird how you look EXACTLY like your younger sister in the piercing picture, and EXACTLY like your older sister in your mophead picture. (That is not a comment about your sister's hair. Its something about the facial expression.) The three of you are breathtakingly beautiful. Also, your Henry is just so completely adorable!!!! Oh, and one last thing, thank you for turning me on to Biet's and River's moms' blogs!

I'll admit I've been curious about your spiritual journey. I could have said so much of what you said in that comment, except that my path led me, my husband, and our daughter out of the church. I just want to say, I know how painful it can be, and i am so SO glad you've found ways to be and feel authentic. I wish you peace as your continue to follow your own path. it can be a lonely one. it's always nice to know we aren't the only ones who don't fit in the mold.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02141270011785790129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-49561038275430173232014-05-26T21:52:57.486-04:002014-05-26T21:52:57.486-04:00The idea behind the no tattoos is the belief that ...The idea behind the no tattoos is the belief that your body is a gift from God (specifically a temple; 1 Corinthians 6:19, from the Bible) and that we should not defile the body as we would not defile a temple. It is a modern interpretation of the LDS church that a tattoo would 'defile' that temple. Many believers of the Bible do have tattoos, but they may not think of their tattoo as 'defiling' their body/their temple, for example a tattoo in tribute to a loved one who has passed on certainly does not seem like what you would call 'defiling' the body. So that's where it gets really confusing. I hope that sounds a little less random/crazy :) Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908774636754434334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-11955646103642174542014-05-26T12:08:25.974-04:002014-05-26T12:08:25.974-04:00Your kid!

I hope I'll get one like that one day (if I ever want one that is). <br />Also, how odd that churches "forbid" people to get tattoos ( just read through a few comments). I am more spiritual than clerically religious (if you know what I mean), so I don't know much about the many rules of different churches, but that just seems like a very specific (and random) prohibition. Do what's good for YOU and your beautiful, fun and free heart&soul. Also, very happy you're not tattooing yourself btw ;) Can't wait to see it!<br />x<br />MajaMajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00414780299704805729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487616434221255778.post-85497508576090304232014-05-25T23:38:19.976-04:002014-05-25T23:38:19.976-04:00PS I just wanted to clarify, I hope that didn'...PS I just wanted to clarify, I hope that didn't sound preachy as if I am trying to say which way your heart should go, how the hell do I know where your heart should go?! You know where it should go, and maybe it's down to a tattoo parlor! Interested to see what you do choose, since regardless of church teachings I've never been too fond of tattoos, but you have impeccable style.. so yeah. Very interested to see.
