Happily Surprised.

You may not believe this, but I've never read Heidi before.  I started reading it this month, just as a diversion.  I was surprised, shocked even, to find that the author includes lengthy discussions on prayer, forgiveness, and God's sovereignty.  There is a recurring reference to the Prodigal Son story, too.  I was very happily surprised that what I thought would be just a fun diversion turned out to be edifying to my soul.
