Prayer


I was browsing in Barnes and Noble tonight and picked up the lastest book by Anne Lamott. In it she quotes Kathleen Norris who said the following:
Prayer is not asking for what you think you want but asking to be changed in ways you can't imagine.
So we see that prayer is really a risky business. And it is truly the grandest adventure of all.

  2. Yes, I thought it was really good too, Jan. I'm so glad I found it!

    A good friend of mine sent me her first non-fiction book, Dakota, years ago. I really need to make a point of reading her other stuff.
