I won't be writing personal updates on how I'm doing in future. Those who really want to know and who actually converse with me on the regular outside the blog-stalking already know how I'm doing and/or where to go to ask me personally.
I believe in Jesus Christ and that the Atonement heals everything. Just because I may not attend church the same amount as another person does not mean that I have abandoned anything. I work in the healthcare industry and since 2011 have only been able to attend twice a month. People don't stop being sick or dying just because it's the Sabbath.
I barely tolerate being around other people right now and going to church for 3 hours once a week pushes my limits in all aspects of my life. Heavenly Father is a lot more understanding and compassionate than anyone gives Him credit for. I honestly know that He understands perfectly what I am struggling with right now and hasn't condemned me to Hell for my choices. According to everything I have experienced as I've wandered around the world, one is still considered an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by attending Sacrament Meeting at least once a month.

When I feel like writing anything other than Book Review Fridays and Art History Wednesdays, you will know as something new will pop up here.
The next BRF and AHW will be combined and will pop up sometime next week.
Thanks for reading the blog but understand that interference or intrusion into my personal life beyond what I choose to share is never appreciated unless you know my favorite color or what my voice sounds like on the phone. If we've brushed our teeth at the same time using the same sink, Skyped in pj's, or scrubbed a tub together, you're already in the know about things you need to be in the know about. If you haven't, kindly keep your opinion to yourself. Those of you who really know me, not just the blogger-me, know I absolutely HATE being told what I should and should not do by other people. My life and choices are not yours to dictate. Go live your life and I will live mine. Sometimes being selfish is the best thing.
