The week that I entered, someone at St. Jude's back in Elyria asked me to write an article about my vocation for the parish newsletter, "The Grapevine". Here is the link to the newsletter:

(I didn't come up with the title- they wanted me to use that title for some reason. I had just turned off my cell phone)

Great piece, Julia. I know you will continue to say YES each day. And continue to pay forward what that "offensive" nun paid to you: interest in your spiritual life, your spiritual direction.
When I converted a few years ago, I only understood a very small part of what conversion entailed. It involves daily conversion. A daily dying to self, so that we can live a richer life in Christ. Keep on...
Strux!
Thanks for sending out that link... It was good to read a little about what's going on in your world.
Your article was great. I actually love that title -- very fitting for the culture. I think turning off a cell phone is more radical than being celibate, no?
Anyway, you're a great writer.
Also, the mention of that Maximillian play. Could it be the same one I saw back in high school? Or maybe grade school? I remember our class had to go to this one man play downtown about Max. I mean, that was like 12 or 15 years ago. Geez. If it's the same dude, he's been on THE GRIND!
alrighty, hope all is well.
peace,

SO appropriate... your daily yeses are amazing. And fyi, the last time I was at St. John's those signs were still up... and Zack's still having a run for his money trying to get people to listen to them :). This article was really good, and I think a little bit of that nun may have rubbed off, if I can remember a certain quote from workcamp two years ago correctly :). Love you, God bless!!!
