The following was a talk I gave in my sacrament meeting for Mother’s Day, May 10, 2015. Today I want to address motherhood as it relates to paradoxes, mother Eve in the garden, scriptural themes that are given the female…
This is a really interesting take for a number of reasons. I’m planning on doing a podcast about some of this and the relationship between patterns and meaning.
