The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert

by Rosaria Champagne Butterfield

Had my sin not preceded me in a public way and had my repentance not been my lifeboat, had I found myself neatly protected within the confines and choice-making of Christian family and community, I today would probably have been the greatest of all Pharisees. Some people are smart enough to learn lessons the easy way. Not me. I always need to fall on my face.
