Before bed last night, I noticed a huge increase in traffic from the Army of Martyrs blog. Welcome! Feel free to poke around, leave comments if you feel so inclined, and contact me if you would like. I moved servers recently, so a lot of images in the posts aren’t showing up, please forgive me!
Some places to get started:

If you want to read the post I submitted into the last Catholic Carnival, it’s right here: The Power of the Eucharist. The post I made after becoming a full Benedictine Oblate, Weathering the Storm is also something I recommend.
Some good ol’ conversion entries:
People’s reactions to my conversion
- The Silence of the People (watching a good majority of family and friends begin to disassociate with me because I had chosen to become Catholic)
- Catholicism is Elitist (a common accusation from my family)
- The Other Four Letter Word (Growing up in a not really religious house)
Being received into the Church and beyond
- Rites of Passage (receiving the Our Father and the Creed)
- Home, After All These Years (Finally – I am HOME)
- The Confirmation Experience (A write-up about how my Confirmation went)
- Post Confirmation Reflections (Almost a year later, I still muse about my Confirmation)
- Faith Like a Child (And later still, this time with pre-schoolers to assist me)
I realize I am sorely lacking a post or three that details my conversion, from Lutheran to atheist to Catholic. It hasn’t been an easy journey, but one entirely worth it. As I still have plenty of time on my hands (read: Elise has not yet arrived), I think I can safely say that it’s time to get a conversion series up. 
Also, if there’s anything anyone would like to see (such as, a follow-up on people’s reaction to my conversion, the conversion series, the Benedictine Oblates, etc), drop me a comment and I will do my best to honor the request. Sometimes I fall short on topics (who doesn’t?).
Both how you came to know, and the steps the Benedictines took you through to become a “full fledged” Benedictine Oblate.

Do you want to know more about how I came to know that the Benedictines is where God wanted me? Or something different?
Fantastic – I’ll get on it tonight, and let you know when it is completed.
I would love to see your conversion story as well! And more about the Benedictine process as well!

I’d like to see a conversion story.
