This article is very powerful. It is hard to find God’s plan in the tragedies of life. The most difficult part about accepting the Christian faith, for me, was trusting God. That last line was awesome, “. . . I grieve knowing that this God, whose eye is on the sparrow, has numbered the hairs of every lost child and every mother in lament, and I have the hope that God can somehow work redemption even out of this.”

It’s too bad that the “obstacle” is too often the case, especially because Flannery has so much insight about expression and communication from a Christian perspective. That seems to touch on some issues you brought up in the OT Theology class–interpretation as an art. It reminds me, too, of when you talked about counsel someone (forgot whom!) gave you to take classes in photography and Shakespeare for increasing skill in preaching.

I love Flannery O’Connor! I have being trying for 20 years to figure out a way to require a couple of her stories in my classes. I think the jump would be to hard for most divinity students, who seem seldom to think outside the church-box….
