Fr. John Powell wrote many outstanding books, and one that was a literal life-saver for me had this title —
Fully Human, Fully Alive

— Couple that title with “I’ve forgiven myself for not being Beethoven” and “God’s greatest glory is a human being full alive” and apply as needed today.

Wait, this stuff’s nudging you to some self-inventory?

Good.

And Merry Christmas.

Looking forward to seeing you back here.
