Anyway, Sara's book is a good account of how modern, thoroughly secular people can come to faith through powers outside their control. I have to say that meeting her was really something. Sometimes you can just look in someone's eyes and know that they've got something special in the whole God thing. As if that weren't enough, she has a way of touching people (I mean literally, as in hugging and kissing on the cheek and so forth) that is holy in that earth-mother meets eco-warrior kind of way.
My next book? Dante's Divine Comedy. I haven't read it since College, but something about that epic poetry is calling me right now...
It's my day off. I joined a gym, bought some cable to make a better connection from the wall to my cable box, and now I think I'm going to go to the convent to pray with the Sisters. Yep, it's Lent!
