    Great to hear from you Misfit Bridget! (I say that with sincere love :mrgreen: )

    I really enjoyed the blog.

    I personally do not believe that God sends or allows things to happen to us in order to transform us into a beautiful temple. I fall more into the camp of “random things happen in life but with God we can make something beautiful out of the whole mess.” However, I fully respect that different people find meaning at different points along the spectrum.

    Long live the misfits!

    Bridget this is lovely.

    My misfitness hasn’t found a healing like the blogger has. My issues are different. But I sincerely rejoice when anyone feels truly valued. I also find being a misfit in the technology age a gift. I couldn’t do it with out everyone here.

    Beautiful! This forum has done for me what that Conference talk did for her.

    member of the Mormon church, aren’t we really supposed to be misfits anyway?

    In wider Christian terms we very much are. However I think in any given society which openly insists on a large degree of conformity there will be many who think they are alone as misfits.

    Jesus served the misfits.

    Just saying.
