I am not trying to be a clever clogs Jeff I am a former English teacher and just can’t help myself.

I am sure that my separated-at-birth-twin wrote Eats Shoots and Leaves - a book about punctuation and spelling.

Yes I did, Sharon. Thanks for pointing out the mistake. I made the correction. The one problem with blogging is that I’m not a very good copyeditor.

Now here’s the point: just as the dark night of the senses purges us of our intemperate desire for creature comforts, the dark night of the senses purges us of those interior delights we so often love more than God. If we love the gift more than the Giver, where does that leave us?

Jeff, great post. Did you mean the second ‘night of the senses’ to read ‘night of the soul?’
