A few years ago when blogging first exploded, there were several candidates for Full Communion and catechumens who blogged their way through the process. Since Lent is approaching, I was wondering if there were many folks doing the same this year. If you know of any – or even of any recent converts who have blogged their stories, please post them in the comments box.

Et tu, Jen? is our first suggestion…

When I was 26, I had never once believed in God. Raised entirely without religion by two parents with math/ engineering backgrounds, I thought that those silly "God" fairy tales were absurd and assumed that every intelligent, logical, scientific person thought the same. After a few years in the Bible Belt I developed a deep dislike of Christianity and became very anti-Christian. Imagine my surprise to find myself today, just three years later, on the way to becoming an orthodox, practicing Catholic.
