[Yes, the Narnia series is technically still "on hold indefinitely"...life has been crazy lately (but crazy is good...or so I've heard!) and blogging time is scarce...but I still am definitely planning on continuing the series at some point, but it certainly won't be a regular thing...at least for now.  I have several Narnia posts in my head...the ( Read more... )

[No, we weren't without Internet for this long...it was about a week and then life continued to happen at a rather crazy pace...thusly, no blogging until now. And really, this probably couldn't even be considered real "blogging"...since most of it is quoting others...]

Recently, through things happening in my life and through conversations had with ( Read more... )

Recently, someone told me that he thought that The Chronicles of Narnia were just children's books and had no spiritual significance whatsoever. !!!! After I picked myself up off the floor and started breathing again (well, not really, but close), I clarified what he said because I didn't think that anyone actually believed THAT. He did however ( Read more... )

Sometimes I amaze myself.  Not in a "Wow, you're such an amazing person!" way, but in a "I can't believe you!" way (this is not a good thing). Let me explain...

Say I lived in a desert.  I had food, drink and shelter and went about my life there, quite contented.  Then one day, someone came to me with a goblet, filled to the brim with a liquid. The ( Read more... )

"We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be." ~C.S. Lewis

I found this quote on some random blog today and so much agreed with it...Lewis always puts things so well!  But the blog didn't have any reference to which book this quote was from...does anyone know?  I'd love ( Read more... )

C. S. Lewis is one of my favorite authors...and yesterday I finally finished his The Four Loves. As would be expected from a Lewis book, it was very good...and full of such jewels of quotes that a word-lover like me enjoys greatly!  I thought I'd share some of my favorites with you all...

[Speaking of how every human's love for God is a "Need-love ( Read more... )

So it's been over two weeks since I mentioned it, but I did want to finally post that " wonderful last paragraph" of the last chapter of The Last Battle, the book of C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia. It probably would have ended up being much longer for me to get around to posting it, but I had to type it all up because I was quoting it in a paper ( Read more... )

I'm sitting at my desk, and through my open window, coupled with the sound of a passing train (I love that sound...remind me someday to tell you why) comes the twitters of birds who are obviously very glad to be alive...you can just tell! And occasionally a deliciously cool breeze blows in, laden with the scents of early spring...mmmmmm (*deep ( Read more... )

C.S. Lewis is definitely one of my mom's favorite authors and he is quickly becoming one of mine also. I didn't used to like his writing much and when I had to read Mere Christianity for school, I basically just got through it and thought that is was a rather dry book. But then, last spring, at my mom's suggestion, I read Mere Christianity again ( Read more... )

I have a little over a week left working here and then I'm off to a wedding for a couple days before going home...but right now I don't really want to go to the wedding.  Not that I have anything against weddings...I don't, I like them and it'll be good to see some of my friends who I haven't seen in a long time...but I just want to go home!    ( Read more... )
