Blogs by Michelle R Kidwell Power In The Pen A Holier than Thou Complex 3/5/2009 10:20:39 PMSomewhere deep down even as child I knew that the Mormon church was not my calling. As a child I went through the motions, when I was a child I went where my parents went, and on those bless Sundays when I was with my Grandmother, instead of listening to three hours of Mormon Doctrine, I listened to an hour of mass, listening as Father Kelley, the young red headed priest gave his sermon. Afterwards we would go out for donuts at the local donut shop, doing anything other than going to listen to three hours of Mormon doctrine on Sundays was forbidden, you couldnt drink Caffeine, which never made any sense to me, because they had stock in the Pepsi Cola company at time, you couldnt fix anything other than a sandwich, you could not go out to eat, and when we were going to church one Sunday, when I was only a baby, the Mormon family my Mother drove to service with refused to stop at a Conveince Store to pick up Formula, because it was against church doctrine.
