18 2013 misconceptions about mormons sleeveless shirts while we re on the subject of dress and grooming i d like to talk about modesty for a bit not being a man i haven t had to field too many questions about not wearing facial hair but i have gotten questions in the past about why none of my shirts or dresses are sleeveless in our church we place a great deal of value on modesty believing that our bodies are sacred gifts from god and that we should care for and respect them we also recognize that the way we dress can affect the way we act and the way others act toward us so we don t wear clothes that are low cut or super tight or see through because of the influence those kinds of clothes can have just as most people don t want their little girls parading around in skimpy clothing to be leered at and ogled i ve never heard anyone complain that child pornography laws are too strict we don t think god wants that for any of his children now going back to the question of sleeves i admit that i ve seen sleeveless shirts that i would say are pretty modest just the arms are showing so why can t we wear that this is just my opinion that i have reached after thinking about my own life and my commitment to following the dress and grooming standards of my church i think that by saying avoid sleeveless shirts and dresses we are setting a clear boundary to follow trying to be too specific about what to avoid often invites people to look for gaps oh they said no strapless but this has spaghetti straps so it s okay for example ultimately we want people to be able to make good decisions about their own modesty because they value their bodies we don t want to give a 5 000 item laundry list of things people can and can t wear so we teach principles such as respect for our bodies and give guidelines to help people understand how to live those principles by avoiding sleeveless shirts i am also avoiding other clothing that fails to reflect the way i feel about my body or the gratitude i feel to god for this gift posted by miss berrie at 12 11 am no comments friday november 8 2013 misconceptions about mormons facial hair last week i was with a group of friends and family when one of them asked if it was true that mormon men are not allowed to have beards or mustaches a few jokes were made of course i mean beards and mustaches are always ripe for a mocking but then i said ok wait just for the record does everyone understand that that is not a real thing there s no actual ban on beards and mustaches for mormon men and i actually heard a few say oh really yes really mormon men are not prohibited from wearing facial hair neither are the women if you want to be technical about it so let s talk about where this idea might have come from it s true that full time missionaries and byu byu i students are prohibited from wearing facial hair as part of their dress codes but the general population of the church is simply asked to look neat clean and modest in appearance many men therefore avoid facial hair believing that a clean shaven look is well cleaner a belief i share by the way facial hair is gross plus it seems like these days often beards goatees mustaches soul patches etc are worn by those trying to make some sort of anti conformist or rebellious statements which also doesn t fit with the idea of being neat or respectable in appearance so many of our men just avoid them posted by miss berrie at 3 10 pm no comments misconceptions about mormons mormon to get this series started i m going with something very basic for the record the term mormon church is just a nickname that other people assigned us long ago the actual name of our church is the church of jesus christ of latter day saints we believe it is christ s church so we feel pretty strongly that his name should be in there somewhere posted by miss berrie at 3 09 pm no comments misconceptions about mormons last weekend i was with some friends that i ve known since basically forever one of them told me that recently she had a co worker who was mormon and it was so cool because she had someone she could finally ask questions about the church i said wait how long have you known me she laughed and said it would ve been weird to ask me so here we go folks i m just going to lay it out for you i will not think it is weird if you ask me questions about my church in fact i welcome it especially if you ve heard things that you think are weird or confusing i m happy to explain and if you still think it s weird after i explain that s okay but at least you ll have the whole story feel free to ask questions in the comments section if you don t have any other way of contacting me if you have any personal concerns about anything i say just mention in your comment that you don t want it published posted by miss berrie at 3 07 pm no comments tuesday june 4 2013 the icu me a series of unfortunate events previously on baby me our story i was admitted to the hospital with pre eclampsia for a supposedly 6 hour stay that ended up extending into days and resulted in the delivery of my baby several weeks early by emergency c section part i of our story concluded with his birth which was one of those indescribable moments that i cannot possibly begin to describe i can say that thinking back on it still fills me with wonder and intense joy now we continue the black belt and baby went up to the nicu once my surgery was finished and i was taken to the icu we had always planned on me going there for a day no matter how my surgery went just so i could be monitored closely in case any complications arose with my lungs i remember that my mom and sister in law were in the hall waving as i was wheeled past like a very sick parade float i also remember that my mom took pictures of me and the black belt and i thought oh these pictures are going to be just awesome and they are while i lay there in bed my mom and the black belt told me about baby and what he looked like and how he had grabbed the black belt s finger when he offered it i wanted to hear every detail and listened hungrily as they told me about the baby my baby amazing read

since my last post as you recall i was going along enjoying the joys and woes of pregnancy counting down as the weeks grew fewer and fewer till it was time for our baby to arrive then i started to notice that my feet were swelling it got worse and worse and what i had not previously known about swollen feet is that they hurt a lot too i showed my doctor on a friday in april and he instructed me to stay off my feet all weekend to see if there was any improvement by the next day there was a slight improvement but it didn t last so i went back on monday and they checked my blood pressure then they checked again then they had me sit quietly for a while and they checked again the third check earned me a fast pass ticket to the hospital my doctor said i d go for 6 hours to see if being on bed rest there brought it down and if it didn t i d have to stay overnight i wasn t happy about the prospect of staying at the hospital but surely things wouldn t come to that i thought so i went to the hospital and checked in without running home to get anything or take care of any business that needed attention the black belt joined me and soon my doctor arrived he walked in right as i was coming out of the bathroom of all the timing to tell me that my blood pressure was still high so i needed to stay i was okay with that until they brought me dinner wow talk about embracing sterotypes hospital food really does suck anyway just so this story isn t 18 pages long i will tell you that it was a rough night with the black belt sleeping on the lousy pull out chair and me with the blood pressure cuff going off every hour and nurses coming in to make sure i was still alive or whatever they were doing amazingly enough this did not bring down my blood pressure so the verdict was that i for sure had pre eclampsia i was going to stay at the hospital and we were going to have to start preparing for the possibility of delivering the baby read more posted by miss berrie at 9 57 pm no comments tuesday february 19 2013 how can i help you but not really can someone please explain to me the point of an answering service i have encountered several of them through various doctors and medical offices each time one answers my call they say such and such s office how can i help you i tell them what i need and then they say in an almost exasperated tone well this is just an answering service the office isn t open right now so you ll need to call back when they are so why are they there one might say because that way when customers call they don t get voicemail or no answer but if the result of speaking with an answering service is the exact same result i would get from no answer whatsoever then i ask again what is the point of an answering service posted by miss berrie at 1 19
