Joy on a Monday

I found out earlier in the evening that my favorite author of all time, Robin McKinley, became a Christian two months ago.  Like, for real crazy conversion experience.  And the amount of joy that this news gives me is incredible.  Like I have no words, and all the words that I have tried to use to explain it to people all fall short.  I've been reading her daily blog for about a year now, and it's like I know her.  I know all about her hobbies and her dogs and the things that annoy her and the things that make her happy, and I know how she thinks, how her brain works, how she strings words together to create stories and tales.  And the way her brain works is so similar to mine sometimes.  Because of the weird world of the internet, I love this stranger who lives thousands of miles away and is forty years older than I am.  And now she has a for real personal relationship with the God that I know personally as well.  And I'm so happy about this.  :D
