Gossamer Threads

Several years ago, struggling to figure out what I believed and where and how I fit in, I began a thought experiment.  I had been taught that Jesus was the Savior for many worlds, so I asked myself, “What would the gospel look like if we peeled away the events and people of our world?”   The results included a pretty bizarre Mormon sci-fi story and a one words answer to my question: Love.   Everything emerges from and leads to love.  That is the gospel, plain and simple.

Welcome, friends! Gossamer Threads is a place where beauty and the vulnerability of sharing our stories weave connections that support and sustain us. When we started Gossamer Threads, we made a choice to start small with just the Facebook page. And now, Gossamer Threads will pick up where another of my writing opportunities left off.

Thank you for joining us here, and once again, welcome to Gossa...
