By: Bloggernacle Times » Majority Leader Harry Reid To Lead Mormons To The Promised Land

[...] Though, I’ve got to admit, any guy who can be Senate Majority Leader and finish his home teaching does set a pretty good example for the rest of us (even Steve and Ronan): But Reid has gone further than any of them. Born in a small mining town in Nevada, Reid now attends services at a ward house a block outside the District of Columbia every Sunday he is in town. He always finishes his home teaching – where members check on a few families to ensure they’re well – and once taught a gospel doctrine class. There’s a copy of the Book of Mormon on his office bookshelf. “He’s always looking after other people,” says his bishop, Michael Seay, the lay leader of his ward. “He’s very much loved by the members.” [...]

[...] As the powers that be have failed to do their hometeaching for the past couple of months (and yes, as your unofficial 2nd counsellor in your BCC elders quorum, I am calling you to repentance, Steve and Ronan), I have taken it upon myself to emulate another section of the Ensign. Or, failing that, I would like to write a series of brief notes, because I don’t have enough material at the moment for one long post. [...]

Stephen (Ethesis) has been a wonder, as well. And I’m so so sorry for the long post. Forgive me . . .

The snack is peaches, once the monkey steals them.

Kindness . . . when people accept and kindly interact with me, and suspend at least some judgement, when I’m so wierd/odd/mentally ill, etc.

A kind word, a complement, a hey, how are you doing it’s been awhile, or, I’ve missed you (implying something that I find astonishing; that people actually LIKE me, my presence, and miss it/me when I’m not around), a comment or two on my blog, to let me know that I’m not alone, and that people read and VALUE what I have to say, my perspective and feelings and such.

Responses to my comments generally astonish me because I’m like, HEY, somebody actually had something they wanted to say to ME, as if I have some sort of valid existence that they want to interact with.

Barb, in particular, has been VERY VERY VERY kind, and supportive, and WONDERFUL. Annegb has taken me under her wing, as it were, and I hope I’ve been a good listener for her, too, when i can. I’ve enjoyed our phone conversations VERY much, as well as other types.

But . . . my soul aches because I am SO ALONE here on this earth, and so DIFFERENT from what is sufficient/appropriate/expected to and in the ways of interacting with the world, that I am afraid no one else will ever be my friend, or want to. I am too . . . less than what is wanted or desired or capable, I guess.

Tea! She has been a godsend, literally, as well. The fact that there are things I’ve posted that have really helped her, and that she’s told me . . . it stuns me that I could be of any use or help to anyone, and yet that is my deepest, deepest desire, which I have many many problems with implementing.

Mebbe my home teachers will accept me, and maybe even LIKE me . . (dagnabbit, stupid tears . . . sorry I’m so . . . well, being pathetic and needy today . . . read today’s post on my blog and then you might understand . . .) . . . . Anyone up for the challenge and hardship of interacting with me?

Cause, I could sure use what this home teaching message talks about, because . . . I . . . well . . .

[...] In some ways this is ridiculously basic, and yet it is so rarely stated nowadays that it seemed revolutionary just to hear it as I trotted along the Fremont river. An acknowledgement that some forms of gender discrimination are institutional and ever-present seems so out of place with our ecclesiastical rhetoric today. I don’t mean that as a criticism either, as I am aware that the Brethren are aware of the problems of poverty and the role of gender in it (see President Hinckley’s Priesthood session address (helpfully summarized here) for more on that). It just seems like we, in the church, often adopt an “All is well” attitude as regards problems that do not address us directly. This talk denies that sort of complacency. [...]

Steve,

Thanks for the virtual hometeaching lesson, my family hasn’t been hometaught in over a year.
