Yes, Mama K. Reading Merton a bit at the retreat we were at on Saturday, he brought out how God makes us dry for a good reason, and often more so later on in our lives. Probably to deepen us in putting more of a sense of need in us, that we find fulfilled only in God through God's word to us in Christ.
Thanks Jim for coming over and commenting! Yes, that's a great book. So many good quotes one can gather from it. So much so that I might say the same thing, even after reading it several times.
Good thought. thanks... it's encouraging.
