I'm back


I am back from a week in the Yucatan for a much needed vacation. Returned to Pittsburgh and a relatively balmy 55 degrees ! Had a wonderful and restful time. While I was gone I read Flannery O'Connor's "Wise Blood" a dark portrayal of what its like to not have Jesus in your life and Carson McCullers "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter". I recommend them both.

You write of wise Blood:"a dark portrayal of what its like to not have Jesus in your life." It is also a "stark and shocking portrayal of what it's like to HAVE Jesus in your life." :)

Fair enough.
