One of the most frequently asked questions in my in-box is about Mormonism. How do I feel about Big Love? (Never watch it.) How is that all Mormon women are so pretty? (Strict health code.) Do you really wear magic underwear? (Yes, though it has never granted me wishes--which is what I would expect magic underwear to do.)
This past weekend Chup and I watched an interesting video featuring Rachel Esplin, a 20-year old Mormon at Harvard get grilled about her religion by journalist Sally Quin. She handles each answer with intellect and coolness surprising for someone her age. After we were done watching the clip I told Chup that he should call his Idaho contacts and see if we could get a hold of Rachel's mother. I have to ask what she fed her daughter every morning for breakfast.
Impressive.
If you'd like to learn more about our background (and a little about magic underwear) I am posting the video here.

Happy Monday!
The Frog: I just opened up a forum about Mormonism. Ask, answer, or post thoughts about Mormonism that you might have. I promise to do my best to respond. Go here.
See you there.

so, miss cjane, i'm a fairly new reader and i've been going back through your blogs to get caught up a bit. i think you are just super duper...i love your humor, your style, your love for family, etc, etc. i am not a mormon, but i am a christian. i've had some questions about mormonism and what a delight it was to watch this video of rachel at harvard. wow. what a beautiful, humble smarty pants she is! loved watching and listening and learning. thank you for posting that. and i think it was fairly obvious that the sweet man next to rachel had a bit of a crush on her...it was as though he wanted to finish her sentences and eat her up. cracked me up. so random. thanks. loved it. and love you.
