CONYERS, Ga. — Depending on your point of view, my room assignment is a result of either bad luck or a mischievous Holy Spirit. It's 3:45 a.m. and the stairwell door bangs closed again. I glance outside to a black sky that has no hint of lightening. I try to make out a constellation, but my eyes blur.
I nestle into the covers. Go or stay. Go or stay.
I know my devoted Catholic friend next door will be attending the 4 a.m. Vigils in the sanctuary just yards from our rooms in the retreat house at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit. Being Protestant, I have a natural out. I close my eyes, dozing fitfully, and jump as the hallway door bangs shut again. Knowing it's my last day here, I decide I might as well join the exodus.

It started out as a recipe for key lime double chocolate-chip cookies. But after mixing the ingredients, I thought the conglomeration looked too wet. There was no way I could roll 1-inch balls of dough out of this soup. So I decided to add almost double the flour.

I've just returned from Berlin, Germany. While there, I spent a considerable amount of time touring the city, seeing the sights and reliving its history. I also was looking for the telltale signs of a Christian church in this large city that boasts a Christian population of less than 1 percent, according to the missionaries there. I looked in 800-year-old cathedrals. I looked in great structures with soaring ceilings that once resonated with the pageantry of medieval Europe. It wasn't there.

— Jesus Christ (Mark 16: 17-18).

Bart Saylor has scribbled his story onto a bunch of brown paper bags. "My Life in Cartoons," he calls it.
It shows him when he was 4, how his pants fell down in the middle of the street in his small Oklahoma hometown, and how his mom started laughing. It shows him dressed as a bumblebee for a ballet recital, his stinger tangled with another kid's, the two stuck together on stage.
