Change of Heart

by Jodi Picoult

“I know God will not give me anything I can’t handle. I just wish He didn’t trust me so much.”

My own practice of religion, you could say, is a nonpractice. I personally feel that it’s just as worthy on a weekend

to rake the lawn of an elderly neighbor or to climb a mountain and marvel at the beauty of this land we live in as it is to sing hosannas or go to Mass. In other words, I think every man finds his own church—and not all of them have four walls.
