  1. Gene, I randomly stumbled onto your blog a few weeks ago. I have been studying spiritual direction on my own with very little... direction. :) I live in Kansas City so am obviously unable to attend your class, but I will be reading your reflections about what is covered in each session. Super hungry and excited to read... Please post!! :)
