Fivestepsdown: living the questions of faith. Saturday, October 29, 2005. I've been in Houston since Thursday night. I can't really tell you why I'm here, but I am.

I guess part of it is to have a time of retreat so that I can read, pray, and think more clearly. Posted by Chett Pritchett at 10:37 AM. Sunday, October 23, 2005. Life at the Rectory.
