"Surprised by Truth 2" by Patrick Madrid (2000) - I have read this one before. It's just like the first one. It's a collection of conversion stories. All of the contributors converted or reverted to the Catholic Church. I read the first one about a month ago. I get surprised by truth all the time, but it doesn't normally happen in association with the Catholic Church. I think the biggest surprise is something that shouldn't surprise me anymore, but it still does and always will. It's the fact that there are so many different parts to this body that belongs to Christ. And I am always surprised at how firmly convinced we all are that our part is the right part. Lever talks about our "2000 parts". Anyone who has taken an anatomy class knows that 2000 is barely even a beginning. Each part has parts. And each part has a whole list of movements that it can do. I get frustrated. I get especially frustrated this time of year. But I certainly can't fix it.

Prairie did a good job with her Christmas/birthday present to me. She gave me the book "Paint the Wind" by Pam Muñoz Ryan (2007). It's written at the 12-year old level, I think, so I'm not much smarter after reading it, but that's just fine with me. And, unless a person at least understands the horse crazy attitude, they might just not appreciate it. I liked this book because it wasn't too cheesy. In other words, it could happen. There was only one part at the end where I had to say, "Wait, what...when did we read about a new campsite? And if we didn't read about it, how did the kid know about it??" So, I would actually read the whole thing over again to see where I missed that muy important part. But not right now. Maybe mom will catch it when she reads it. Speaking of horse stuff, I rode Ranger around the block on Saturday, but I decided yesterday that I probably shouldn't be out in the wind with my sickness (which is now almost gone), so no riding yesterday. Oh, and speaking of Ranger, we got his dam's pedigree, too, so I updated his online thingy. Check it out. He's got Joe Hancock on his mommy's side. Too cool.
