    Right now I'm listening to She's so High . . . "I know where I belong, and nothing's going to hapen. 'Cause she's so high, high above me, she's so lovely . . ." That song is so Mormon. It just is.

    It got me thinking. So many people acuse the Church of being sexist because women can't hold the Priesthood, but anyone who's ever seen Johny Lingo would know that that's not true. In fact, it's quite the opposite. We're the only Church I know whose men cannot receive the highest glory of heaven without women, even though women can receive the highest degree without men. We're the only Church I know who connects motherhood to Godhood, who acknoledges the divine nature of woman as potential godesses. Not to mention the constant primary and priesthood lessons to "give proper respect to women, girls, and children" (Purposes and Duties of the Aaronic Priesthood). We also claim the oldest women's organization founded in America-- what started as the "female Relief Society of Nauvoo" is now World Wide. Utah was the second state to grant women's sufferage, the first being Wyoming. And I have gone on now about a completely random topic so I'm going to shut up now . . .
