I grew up around them. (In St. Paul MN) I have nothing but respect and admiration for all that you do. The world would be missing a very bright light without you.

Yeah, I guess I don't get over to see you guys much anymore since I no longer live with Theresa (or any of the other RSM's for that matter). I now live quite close to you guys (in Oak Park), and I often ride my bike through your neighborhood (mostly up Mortenson on my way to places north and west). Give me a holler if you want to invite me over for any shindigs this summer...I've put a "contact me" form on <a href="http://nunsuch.wordpress.com/about-me/" rel="nofollow"><strong>this page</strong></a> so you can reach me without having to broadcast to the world. Thanks for your encouragement! Sandy Welcome Christopher!

After reading it for a few minutes, I decided to check out the "about me" section. I live in Detroit as well (Berkley to be exact) at the Jesuit novitiate. I believe that I have also seen you playing music at Gesu which we frequent almost every weekend. What a small world! Keep on blogging. I really enjoy it.

I came across your blog googling for "LaTeX". It seems like google is one of those wonderful technologies that bring people together. From a pretty far distance to both, it would seem that being a nun and a professor means belonging to two pretty strong institutions. I find it fascinating when people from one institution incorporate the lessons and experience of a much different institution, and do so as an insider to both. I'll give an example that brought a smile to my face: On a radio program Ms. Manners was presented with the fact that manners are running all over the place in the online world. She was asked, "Is the explosion of online behavior just going to outpace our ability to define manners and mores?" She replied (paraphrasing from the fuzz of memory), "Your patience please, I'm doing my best to keep up." Fun stuff. I came across your blog googling for “LaTeX”.

I have many obstacles but it is the truth that God will find a way for me. If he leads me to this path he will surely lead me through the obstacles. Most of my friends are supportive. I had lunch with my best friend and she believes that if this is God's calling for me then it will be. I believe this too. I know I have to take everything I do one step at a time. My first step is to do one thing I have been meaning to do but have just never gotten around to until now. I want to read the bible. The entire Bible front to back. Not just the verses that my preacher preaches on each Sunday. I am also going to a Catholic church this Sunday and look for more answers to the questions in my head and heart. It's hard to realize that it's not about what I want, it's about what God wants me to do with this life he has given me. I know above all he wants me to have a more personal and close relationship with him and if nothing else comes of my life then, I know I can give him this. Thank you.
