In truth, that’s partly how I do it as well. It is liberating to not have to live up to the expectations of anyone else but yourself. I especially like the end of his piece, because I see how that happens, too. I agree with that DJ. My protestant heritage comes through in that I see no intermediary between me and God – God saves me, not the church, not the culture, not the Pharisees. My maxim is also that no one will be perfect in this life. Not me, not others. It lets me deal with myself and the failings of others. Who gives a child a stone when it asks for bread?
Kirby sure is a funny writer. He probably stays LDS the way that I stay LDS: keeping his mouth shut in Church and frequently skipping Sunday School. I wonder if Kirby’s ever been threatened a disciplinary council. Kirby’s a brave guy. I mean, it takes guts to attach your real name to hundreds of articles that are published in the Salt Lake Tribune that are skeptical of the Church.

Yes, Robert Kirby is his real name. I have met him and his wife, and he is the same in person and he is in writing. Very honest, guy. There is no pretext to him.
I really liked what he wrote in this article — serving because you want to, and the lack of obligation to do things you find to be of questionable value (which is relative for everyone)…all good stuff!
