This day at Sunstone I went to sooooo many incredible presentations. I went to a presentation on Joseph Smith’s relationship with the freemasons, and specifically to Abraham Jonas. That was interesting. I also went to a presentation on how to bring Richard Rohr’s theology into the LDS church, a beautiful presentation on why people stay in the church (that one had me in tears), a presentation on people who have healed through supplementing their LDS experience by another church, a presentation by Michael Quinn on the persistence of post second manifesto plural marriage among LDS women, and had a really nice conversation at lunch with a lovely septegenarian couple who are active LDS.
In the evening Abe took Ammon to father’s and sons, which was really good for Ammon. Ammon has been watching tv nonstop with his babysitters so it was great for him to get out in nature with Abe.
While they were at father’s and sons, I had fun with the girls in the back yard. I just relaxed and chatted with them, which was nice because normally I don’t have energy or time to just sit there and talk with them. They ate too much ice cream while we talked, but it was fun.
