Book: It’s May! That means it’s National Celiac Awareness Month! Part of Gloria Jean’s story is to reconcile the notion of the theology of the body—that she can learn about God from her body—when her body can’t even receive God (in the form of bread).
Obviously, dates involving food could be tricky to navigate for people with severe Celiac and want to avoid cross contamination. Gloria Jean worries about this, but when she’s older and on real dates (spoilers for the moms– of course I have this 14-year-old realize one-on-ones are inappropriate), she’ll have more and more options. A handy dandy list.
Love em! I’d add that my husband and I like to start Saturday evening dates with going to confession. Oh, and though we don’t get many opportunities, we love to go for Adoration dates; sometimes we spend the time writing each other letters.
Thanks, Stephanie! I love your ideas, too! We actually did a Saturday date with confession, which was so early, that we ended up swinging at the church playground before the Vigil and then Mexican. Yum! 🙂
