For the last 6 hours, I\u2019ve been hopping amongst websites and blogs, tracking, reading, thinking, questioning, arguing, posting.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s divisive.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d say this election season is potentially the most divisive among LDS I\u2019ve ever seen, and I see that as a wholly negative thing. Emotions are charged, deep-seated opinions and positions are expressed against those whom we once considered allies and fellow-citizens in the Gospel.<\/p>\n

And so, as the discussions rage, I will step away. Log off. Take some time to do something else. Go for a walk. Pray. Make some pancakes. Get some exercise. count my blessings. Anything other than what I\u2019ve been doing.<\/p>\n
