Talk about a smack over the head. <BR/><BR/>I don't think it is so strange that God would speak to you through your choice of your books. It would make sense, in fact, given that you seem to be something of a bibliophile. <BR/><BR/>Then again, one of things that i appreciate about the Celtic Christian tradition is the notion of God's utter proximity to us. God is always lurking waiting to show us something, if we would just open our eyes.

When I am deluged with images similar to the deluge that you described, I usually start laughing because it is somtimes so hard to get my attention that God has to practically hit me over the head with a cast iron skillet to get my attention.
