I couldn’t help but look at and marvel your tagline.

Are you a Flannery O’Conner fan? I ask this because I have been one for years and have read all she had written in her too short lifespan.

Yes,I'm a big Flannery O'Connor fan. I use her pithier sayings all the time with my RCIA students. E.g.:

...

"Mystery isn't something that is gradually evaporating. It grows along with knowledge."

...

"She would of been a good woman,” The Misfit said, “if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life."

...

"Everywhere I go, I'm asked if I think the universities stifle writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher.

...

"The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it."
