		<description>Thanks Deborah, Caroline, and Mb.  I&#039;m glad you guys appreciated it.

Caroline, honesty and vulnerability has allowed me to get to the point I&#039;m at, and I hope I will continue to be shaped by those two factors, and contribute to my congregation with them as well.  It sometimes scares me to death though.

On a side note, being more open has allowed me to find more Exponent lurkers in person which has been awesome.  Both my bishop and stake president (who I also consider friends) know about my blogging and support it because they see the way it has made me better and I have also realized they recognize more areas of grayness in life and the church than I did before.  I consider myself lucky for that.</description>

		<description>Yes, this is wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing this. And I&#039;m glad you shared the poem with your ward. I think that&#039;s exactly what we need in our congregations - more honesty, more vulnerability.</description>
