When the Holy Spirit stirs the heart, who can refuse?  While adding three new authors in one week may seem hasty, I am very excited to have Owen Swain join our budding community.  This makes us officially international! LOL  Owen and I have known each other through our multiple incarnations of blogging for many years.  I first encountered his original blog, which many still remember, Luminous Miseries, back when my own conversion was very fresh and his was beginning to challenge him.  He sacrificed his calling as an Evangelical Pastor to enter into the sheepfold of the Catholic Church.  I’ve been delighted over the years to share prayer with him, watch his daughter’s discernment to Religious Life from afar, and admire his artistic talent and ability to illuminate deep truths through his art, writing, and poetry.  Welcome, friend!
