Good morning, everyone. Please excuse my recent absence: I'm generally fairly good about staying current in threads. Lately, days have been slightly stressful. I would, however, still like to congratulate everyone (who celebrates) on the first week of the Advent: I've noticed that people of all religions have been a little peppier lately. :)

On another note, has anyone here read The Imitation of Christ? It's most commonly attributed to Thomas a Kempis, but the original author was so insistent on humility that he didn't actually tell anyone he wrote the book. Anyone who has read it: I'd be very interested in hearing your thoughts, if you don't mind: not too many people around me have heard of it.

To those of you who haven't read it, I sincerely reccomend doing so: although some ideas are foreign to me, I think everyone can get something out of it.
