It is a good one. Three very different folks. I found it very enjoyable. Made me think.
As I am feeling like I have to take a break from being an “attending 100% of meetings” kind of Mormon and I keep thinking over and over about how Gina (one of the folks on the panel) decided to take a sabbatical, but found she was back in just a few months. I think of Jana Riess and how she took a year off from church. I am starting to feel the longer I ignore the feeling to back away just a bit, the more I am setting myself up for an explosive departure.
