"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner

One of my favorite quotes, illustrated . . . .
One of my favorite Christian writers is Annie Lamont and one of my favorite of the many of my favorite of her quotes comes from her book TRAVELING MERCIES: SOME THOUGHTS ON FAITH (page 131).
And now, here it is. Sent to me by a friend. Sort of illustrates how I felt as I wrote the reflection on Mathematics.
The Boy Jesus, having heard my awful thoughts.
Illustrated.
For your edification and enjoyment.
"I had such awful thoughts that I cannot even say them out loud because they would make Jesus want to drink gin straight out of the cat dish."
