Last night Jen posted a very insightful reflection on her blog, Et Tu, Jen?. Here’s the best part:

And now, as with so many other things that used to seem hypocritical or restrictive, I finally get it. Those of us who come to faith late in life are not getting a better deal than those who believed all along. We’re getting a far worse deal. When you finally experience the peace of Christ, you realize that every day without it is a day to be regretted.

Amen, sister! I’ve been through this same thought process, and I’ve come to the same conclusion… but I have not been able to write about as adroitly as Jen just did. Thank you, Jen, for writing this!
