I was listening to the This I Believe podcast from October 16, 2009. The essay of the week was by Rebecca West, entitled Goodness Doesn't Just Happen, an essay written for the original series in the 1950s.Ms. West was a critic, journalist, novelist and feminist known for her studies of the Nazi war crimes trials at Nuremburg. Her essay spoke of her attempts to live out her beliefs in freedom, the rule of law, the importance of God and the exercise of religion as a way to connect to God. It's worth reading (or listening to) the entire essay, just to get to this line.
