"My God, Jesus my love, uncreated Goodness, what would have become of me if You had not drawn me to Yourself?" (St. Gertrude)
Later today (or tomorrow at the latest), I hope to put another post on here. That one will be longer than normal, so I'm writing this introduction separately.

Because scripture is our current ongoing topic, I feel it's time to share my basic "testimony," or at least the bare bones of such. You see, it was through scripture that I came to faith in Christ.
I am presently cutting down an article originally published in 1981. Since the magazine is no longer in publication, and since I wrote the article, I figure no one will mind if I edit it, making it fit more into post-size.. and hopefully I will be freshening it up just a bit!
In retrospect, I find this article (the first I ever wrote) thoroughly "cloistered heart."
One way to "carry the fire" of God's truth into the world is to share how we, ourselves, have found it. As for me, I was agnostic during most of my 20s, thinking that if there were any kind of "god" at all, "it" was nothing more than something akin to electricity. In a little while, I will share what happened to change my mind.
