Abandonment to Divine Providence

A friend of mine left this book on my chair after we had a particulary interesting conversation about religeon. This friend is the first Catholic I have ever met who impresses me with his knowledge of his own religeon. I've always been impressed with Catholic's loyalty and devotion but I never understood their traditions. They contradict everything I have ever been taught as a protestant (of course). My friend actually put forth an argument that proves protestant beliefs as heretical!! And it wasn't that far off. I don't plan on converting to Catholicism but I do think this will have an impact on my spirituality. That's major.

Finished Lucky. That was a really good book. I think I read the entire thing in two days.

Am now trying to read A Heartbreaking Work of... again. It's not so bad. The Josephine Baker book is so boring, that A Heartbreaking Work of... is now somewhat interesting in comparison.

I didn't properly introduce The Josephine Baker Book, titled The Hungry Heart by Jean-Claude Baker, her adopted son. I bought it off Amazon hoping to learn more about the namesake of my blog... but this book is turning out to be more of a giant research paper on his mom. There are so many names and dates I feel like I'm back in History 101. Thankfully there's no quiz. But I do find myself skimming. I hope I can finish it though because I really want to get to the part where she risked her life for the French Resistance during World War II.

I'm reading Lucky by Alice Sebold right now and it's really really good. I'm almost done already. I can't wait to read Lovely Bones .
