This is why LDS women don't give blessings (anymore)

For about 100 years, Latter-day Saint women were able to give blessings by the laying on of hands. Today, blessings are only given by ordained priesthood officers. What happened? Most of the information for this episode comes from here: "Female Ritual Healing in Mormonism" by Jonathan Stapley & Kristine Wright: https://www.jstor.org/stable/23291588 Fun facts and notes: — Another great quote from Brigham Young on this subject comes from an April 1844 general conference address: “I want a Wife

Mormonism: A Narcissistic System: Why It's Never Enough

What if the reason you felt like you were never enough… wasn’t you? In this episode, Teresa explores the striking parallels between narcissistic relationship dynamics and high-demand religious systems, specifically within Mormonism. Through a compassionate but honest lens, she examines how institutional patterns like shifting expectations, avoidance of accountability, image preservation, and conditional belonging can shape identity, nervous system regulation, and long-term wellbeing, especially

Freedom Comes in Waves

This essay reflects on freedom and sovereignty through the lens of surfing, written from the perspective of someone who does not surf but has watched a brother use the ocean as a way to cope with grief. In a year marked by shared trauma and loss, writing and surfing become parallel practices — different responses to the same weight — each honoring agency, patience, and the choice to remain present in a world that does not bend to us.

"Christ's outstretched hands haven’t stopped working" Wednesday of Trinity 21 2025

On that cross, the Law is fulfilled. The Sabbath is completed. The Lord of the Sabbath rests His head in death to give eternal rest to the weary. His hands are destroyed so that yours might be restored. His life is taken so that yours might be saved. That’s the pattern of the Gospel: He takes the harm so that you receive the good. He suffers so that you are healed. He is broken so that you are made whole.

Free Article 2 (Oct. 24, 2025): Intervals of Care

Recovery rarely arrives as revelation. It comes in intervals — eight-hour windows between doses, half-hours between trades, small spaces where patience is tested and faith is rebuilt.

Free Article 1 (Oct. 24, 2025): The Day After: Learning to Breathe Again

The first morning after Whiskers came home from SAGE was supposed to feel triumphant. Instead, it felt fragile, suspended between gratitude and fear. Recovery is never instant—it’s a quiet apprenticeship in patience and trust.

Free Article 2 (Oct. 25, 2025): The Long Night of Waiting

The day after Whiskers’ emergency, the house was filled with a strange, heavy peace. His breathing had slowed to twenty-four a minute — a small miracle — yet every hour felt borrowed. We began his new medications that night, learning to trust again in time, in healing, and in rest.

"Forgiveness of sins flows from Christ's cross into your life" Trinity 19 2025

And here comes Jesus—with no lecture, no conditions, no delay— “Take heart, son. Your sins are forgiven.” That’s not just a kind word. That’s a word that changes everything. That’s a word that moves you from death to life. We might think Jesus got it wrong—this man came for healing, and Jesus gave forgiveness. But that’s the point. Forgiveness is the healing. The real sickness isn’t in the legs; it’s in the heart. It’s the sin that separates us from God. And Jesus cuts straight to it. This isn’t Jesus showing off for the Pharisees or using the man as an object lesson. No, He loves him. He loves him enough to give him what matters most: peace with God.

"The blind shall see, the deaf hear, the mute sing, the dead rise!" Wednesday of Trinity 12 2025

This is your hope: what He begins here, He will complete on the Last Day. The blind shall see, the deaf hear, the mute sing, the dead rise. For the same Jesus who opened eyes and loosed tongues has conquered death itself. “Behold, I am making all things new” (Revelation 21:5). Therefore, we join the blind men in their prayer: “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” This is the Church’s daily cry. In sickness, in sorrow, in sin—we cry for mercy. And Christ answers. Not always with a miracle of healing, but always with forgiveness, always with His presence, always with the promise of resurrection.

Cancer Diary II

Eighteen months after my mother passed away, I was diagnosed with grade four brain cancer at the age of 25. When I look back on the last five years, it really puts my life into perspective. We all want to be great, but life doesn’t come without suffering. The greatest honor in this journey has been inspiring others. It wasn’t easy—it was incredibly hard—but if my experience can make it easier for someone else, that makes it all worth it. One of the most rewarding parts was inspiring my own father. Without realizing it, I motivated him to take control of his health. Nine months after my diagnosis, I moved back in with my dad, who was beginning to show early signs of Parkinson’s. It was tough. I hadn’t lived at home since I was 19, and this time, my mom wasn’t there. He was missing his wife, and I was missing my mom. Despite our differences—I even punched a hole in the wall—we navigated through it. He wanted me to focus on chemotherapy, while I was drawn to alternative treatments. He leaned into Christianity, and I found comfort in Taoism. Yin and Yang—father and son.
