Random Thoughts As I Return From California

One common thing about us: we are all different. Quote by student journalist on KOMU.

For me to be a saint means to be myself. Therefore the problem of sancity and salvation is in fact the problem of finding out who I am and of discovering my true self. Thomas Merton, quoted in My Life With The Saints, by James Martin, S.J.

I had a great time in California with Jane and David. We ate, drank, played games, and explored many topics with wonderful conversation. Jane sent me home with the above book. I haven't finished it, but I can already recommend it. It follows the reconversion of a luke warm Catholic through his accidental encounters with lives of the saints. The communion of saints is one of the things that keeps me Catholic, so I am really enjoying his perspective of their influence on his life and spiritual journey. I am also receiving many insights into the lives of these companions on the way.

The summer lies ahead, I have a new grandchild to play with, Becca and Andy will be here soon and we will all be togther for a while, and I am surrounded by family and friends, the two greatest blessings of all. Thanks be to God.
