Journal 4 Assignment: Choose an article from the San Francisco Chronicle's "Finding My Religion" column by David Ian Miller (look for it under "Spirituality Resources" in the left sidebar), then write about your reaction to it.

Also, feel free to use the article as the basis for a discussion about your own personal experiences.
