Dawn Eden writes a perfectly named blog: Dawn Patrol. She shares what's happening to her and what she thinks about, and often the results are breathtaking.

She has shared about her conversion to Christianity a few years ago, her decision to stop sleeping around (that resulted in her book, Thrill of the Chaste), and recently her discovery that she had thyroid cancer. She has now completed her first surgery. The diagnosis caused her to reflect on God's grace in directing her steps so that the problem was discovered in time.

The column is here.

And don't miss her moving meditation on suffering from earlier this week.

They both make good reading for Lent.
