“Men are that they might have joy.”

Have you ever noticed that when you’re enjoying yourself, it’s probably a sin?

Sex, drugs, rock ‘n roll… Normal things that normal people enjoy, alcohol in moderation, R-rated movies, chatting with friends at the pub, having a hobby, women having a career.

And Mormons are told that we’re never doing enough church stuff. Read scriptures more, pray more, fast more, do more family history, go to the temple more, spend more time in your calling, more home and visiting teaching. It’s not only exhausting, it’s dour.

    I don’t know about all that!

    • Playing a retro video game
    • Hiking at a state park
    • Watching the sunrise
    • Enjoying a good cup of coffee.

    Ah, you got me!
