Bathroom reading material

An interesting fact that was bestowed on me during my audiobook reading this morning: Dr. Martin Luther said (in an autobiography as well as in other writings) that a significant moment in his somewhat prolonged epiphany of the relationship between the words/ideas of "faith" and "righteousness" came when he was reading one of Paul's letters to the early Christians in the latrine of his cloister. He said that this is consistent with the trend that some of God's most momentous actions occur in filthy circumstances. (i.e. Jesus' birth in a stinky, unsanitary stable and his unimaginably excruciating death on a cross, beside two convicted criminals.)

I guess that's all the more reason to keep some good reading material on the back of the toilet.
