QUOTE TO NOTE: If I am made for the gift of self, then discipleship is helping one recover this ability for gift of self because what sin has done has ruptured our ability of give ourselves away in love, rupture our ability to sacrifice.  Discipleship helps us integrate body and spirit, leading us to true freedom.  Freedom is the ability to choose the good.

OBSCURE FACTOID: Katrina is our second weary interview at the end of a long day.  Her day started at Martha’s Vineyard before finishing her presentation in Frederick.  We were among the last to walk out.

BEHIND THE SCENES: So there was this guy whistling in the background at the very beginning and I would have never starting recording had I heard that in the background. . . I am continually learning about podcasting on the fly!
