Actually, Adrienne, when I saw your mention of "Little" S Therese yesterday, I thought how right it was to link her with "Big" S Therese. They both have much to teach us about the interior life and where one ends off, the other continues. So, thank you for making that link.
Phillip That's why I love you so much. You remind me of my ex-sister-in-law. No matter what I did she managed to find a way to explain it in a good light. It is your number one gift.
