Really enjoyed this piece in the BYU alumni magazine–maybe this is the first time I’ve ever said such a thing. But faith and brains aren’t in opposition, at least in my life, so I appreciated some ideas for encouraging questions and discussion in families.
Hopefully nothing bad will ever happen to anyone you know. If it does, this might be helpful. After reading this I bookmarked it to revisit as a reminder of the ways to reach out to those around us in pain.
You may not like little essays that are a bit too reflective (I’m looking at you Jenna) but this is short and won’t kill you. Really. And the last segment, about being jailed while in a wheelchair, kind of blew my mind.
And for something a little lighter, because really? Come on now, we can’t get too deep and sad and solipsistic up in here. Maybe not super light. Maybe a little ‘funny because it rings of truth.’ A piece about makeup and how it maybe won’t fix everything. Don’t I know it!
