7 Teens/tweens, 2 Adults, 1 Island, No Ferries…our first camping experience!

August 14, 2024August 14, 2024momonthegoinholytoledo

I never understood it, shoot, if I’m being honest, I thought they were all crazy. What kind of a person volunteers to leave their climate-controlled home with a private bathroom, a fully stocked fridge, freezer, wifi, and all the modern-day accommodations they work so hard to provide their family and go live in the great outdoors for a week? To me that sounded like pure nonsense, borderline insanity. Vacations should require less work, not more. Why pack towels, air mattresses, sheets, pots, pans, coolers, etc.? Why not save yourself time, energy, and bug bites and just stay home? After an impromptu extended stay on an island with 7 tweens/teens, one brutal storm, dirty underwear, greasy hair, and legs you could play connect-the-bug bites on I think I finally get it. I drank the Kool-Aid. What’s even more shocking, is I miss it, there, I said it. But I’m getting ahead of myself, let me start from the beginning.

Antagonism toward the Mormon Church

July 23, 2024momonthegoinholytoledo

The history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) is marked by significant episodes of persecution from its founding in the early 19th century through its migration to the western United States. The persecution faced by early Mormons involved social ostracism, economic hardship, legal challenges, and violent mob actions, all of which played a pivotal role in shaping the church’s development and migration patterns. However, the antagonism did not end in the 1800s. Today, persecution of Mormons continues, but it takes more subtle forms, including a host of literature, which includes things like the CES Letter. A summary of CES Letter is that it is around 80 pages of arguments against the Mormon Church. There are thirteen sections and many more subsections in the document–the majority of which are arguments against the history of the church.
