Welcome to the April 2008 Perfect Post Awards!
In February of 2006, Lindsay and I launched the Perfect Post Awards in order to share personally captivating posts within a supportive community of talented bloggers like you.

If you’d like to present an award next month, e-mail me and I’ll send you the latest award button code a few days before the 1st. If you’re interested in looking through our past award posts, they can be found here. Thanks to each and every one of you for making the Perfect Post Awards such a great success!!

And now without further adieu, my Perfect Post Award goes to…

Woulda Coulda Shoulda for Can I Get an AMEN?



Right off the bat, you must know that every post Mir writes could be up here. I had three in mind by her just this month but I stuck with my first choice because it stuck with me.

Mir writes, “Here is the thing you need to understand about me and church: I’m something of a traditionalist. It feels funny, saying that, because I am not a fan of religions that take themselves SO SERIOUSLY that worship feels like an elaborate dance rather than an opportunity to commune with God. But on the other hand, I’m not so much interested in worship that’s sort of New Age-y or whatever.”

That is so me. Religiously warped, washed and dried me. After a childhood full of more Catholicism than my free-thinking mind could handle, I walked away. Now as an adult, It, or rather, the longing for it returns to me not as faith but more as a cozy lullaby that I don’t recall the words to. And I can’t quite make sense of that either.

I have yet to rediscover my religious groove thang but I do know what makes me uncomfortable. That feeling is precisely why Mir’s post cracked me up all the way down to my rosary beads. (Yes, I still have them. Somewhere.)

She describes it as “enthusiasm” and I think that sums it up perfectly.
