In osap's world, there IS no math...well OK there's algebra, and all the stuff I need to wirte logic for my database work.......but that's IT....there is no PHYSICS in my world.

MissyP89 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans! Anyone want to put money down that InHisLove ends up a Benedictine now? I personally am called to marriage, but I do love the Dominicans! Some day, way down the road, I may discern to join their third order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I absolutely love Edith Stein. And actually, I do have a fondness for some Carmelite spirituality as well... I'm a little sad though, there's already a Sr. Teresa Benedicta in the Dominicans of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist! Who would've thought?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
