Speaking of bothering to ask him, there's a book that was published back in 2005 called Operating Instructions, by Anne Lamott, that tells of her indecision about abortion and her asking God for the right answer.

That night she had a dream that her son was falling down a well and she was reaching out to try to pull him back up and he was reaching up his little hand . . . and you know what her decision was. The book is about his first year.

An old friend of mine and I went to Barnes & Noble at 17th Street when Lamott was speaking and signing books, and there were all these little kids running all around the place--children of women who had read the book.

Thanks for your post. I had not heard of that book but I am going to do all I can to get a hold of that book!
