Have you ever felt called to visit a place?

&nbsp;

A few weeks ago, I was trying to make sense of an unfortunate discovery.  Previously, I thought schmuckiness was limited to the men of my fair city.  While visiting France, I learned that schmuckiness is apparently a global problem.

&nbsp;

I am one of those bloody cock-eyed optimist/dreamer types who always sees the best in people.  When the smoke clears and the mirror cracks, I momentarily lose a little faith.

&nbsp;

What better place to restore dwindled faith than the <strong>Franciscan Renewal Center</strong>?

&nbsp;

A friend mentioned the center in passing, and I recalled a visit years ago.  I was compelled to look them up on their website.  I was immediately drawn to The Labyrinth.
