Bad Catholic

If you're not reading Jennifer Fulwiler's Conversion Diary, you ought to be. As an atheist turned Catholic, she's deep, insightful, smart, laugh out loud funny and super-duper real. She recently won a whole boat-load of awards and decided to do her own "awards" list of blogs that she really likes. I haven't checked them all out yet (I'm in the middle of several really interesting books), but the one I did read has been added to my "must read" list. He's funny. He loves God and loves the Church. He's a bit irreverent, while being really reverent. He's the Bad Catholic.

And yeah, he's 18. 18! Seriously, how does that happen? How does an 18 year old know more about how faith and life intersect than I do? And of course, not only do I love the Chesterton quote on his banner, but his quote of the week is my favorite passage of all time, which also happens to be Chesterton. I want my daughter to marry a guy like this. Even if she has to become Catholic to do it (but maybe the right girl would induce him to be Orthodox - you never know!).

I dunno, but you really should read this post: Y'all Suck at Sinning.

And check out Jen's "Awards" post while you're at it and find more blogs that may take all your free time, but may open the world to you.
