I'm in the middle of a Percocet daze right now, which means that my back hasn't hurt for 15 whole minutes... And I've been able to sit up and read a few blogs!

I've just discovered one that will be a regular read for me now... If you read this blog regularly at all, you probably know that a blog with a title like Southern Catholic Convert is custom made to catch my eye.

Check out Anastasia's blog and read her conversion story, which I found myself identifying with right off the bat. Here's a snippet:

Many times, I found myself saying, “Lord, I do not understand this teaching, but I will accept it. Please show my heart and intellect the reason for this teaching.” This was a hard thing for me to do and remains a hard thing to do, because I question everything - why is my favorite word. However, I found out by submitting myself to God’s will He would provide me the answers I needed. Submitting myself to Our Lord in this way softened my heart to the point I could hear and understand what was being taught.

This was well worth getting out of bed to read!
