Most LDS Church members are getting more questions these days, because the church is in the news like never before. With two presidential candidates (one just departed), with Broadway musicals parodying the church, with the "I Am a Mormon" campaign getting ever more visibility and attention, the curiosity about the church is at an all-time high. And if we think curiosity is high now, just imagine what it will be if Mitt Romney becomes the nominee, something that could happen.

Angela, I'm headed home for the holidays and lately the experience has been bitter sweet. I'm a less active member of the church, and I am comfortable with my life decisions, but it is difficult to be home and feel like everyone is disappointed in me. It's not that anything is said directly to me but whenever there is a family prayer or mention of God, I feel like people are looking at me to see how I will react. How can I be home and enjoy their company and our traditions without feeling judged and uncomfortable?

For many many years, I was ashamed to admit this, ashamed that it would reveal me as a party pooper or (worse) an uptight reactionary or (even worse) a selfish adult who can’t enjoy a holiday that’s mostly geared toward children (except when it’s geared toward grown women wearing “sassy” Minnie Mouse costumes, or, you know, the glorification of chainsaw murderers, no embedded link necessary). But I’ve been in the business of begrudgingly half-smiling through the month of October for a good long time now, and I’m finally comfortable enough with myself to say it: I do not like Halloween.

It’s a beautiful fall afternoon: the sun is shining in an impossibly blue sky, the wind is whipping through the trees, and out on the field, six five-year-olds are chasing after a soccer ball. There’s my son, with the black “3” emblazoned on the back of his white jersey. You can tell which player he is, even without the number. He’s the one who follows the ball the full length of the (admittedly short) field, the one whose kicks always go in the direction of the right goal, the one who cares so hard about winning that he pushes himself through the whole game. His focus makes him stand-out in an age group where the players are as often seen twirling aimlessly at the wrong end of the field, stealing the ball from their own teammates, or climbing on the goal posts.
