November 11, 2020 Mending Toys and Hearts “Did you get a new puppy?” It’s a question we often hear on our walks, especially when we’re on the last leg and home is in view of his nose. That’s when the puppy like spunk shows up, when he’ll look back to make sure... Share this:TweetMoreShare on TumblrPrintRedditEmailLike this:Like Loading... Categories Memoir Comments: 0
March 12, 2020 A Prayer for What’s Best C.S. Lewis is one of my favorite Christian authors. It can take some thought to get the point he is making in some of this writings, but the wisdom that I gain is well worth the effort. In Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer, Lewis...

March 2, 2016 The Spiritual Legacy of C.S. Lewis Last night we went to see The Screwtape Letters performed by Max McLean. It was incredible! I love the book by C.S. Lewis and McLean brought it to life exquisitely. In honor of the play, I decided that for today’s Lent poem I would write...

July 7, 2013 Choosing to Trust I’ve been thinking about trust lately. It has been said that trust must be earned, and that once lost it is hard to regain. But it occurs to me that trust is a choice, and that sometimes we must choose to trust even when it... Share this:TweetMoreShare on TumblrPrintRedditEmailLike this:Like Loading...

January 27, 2013 A Treasure Trove of Quotes One of my favorite authors of all time is C.S. Lewis. The man was brilliant, his arguments logical, and his imagination astounding. I recently returned a book that I got for Christmas, and in its place got three others. (I should only have gotten one,... Share this:TweetMoreShare on TumblrPrintRedditEmailLike this:Like Loading...

June 20, 2012 Pondering Charity A couple of weeks ago I received this quote in my daily Quotemeal email from Heartlight.org: If our expenditure on comforts, luxuries, amusements, etc., is up to the standard common among those with the same income as our own, we are probably giving away too...

June 7, 2011 C.S. Lewis and My Tuesday Three I know it has only been a few weeks since I started the “My Tuesday Three” theme, but I’m already discovering that it is much more difficult than I imagined. It seems as though I must be more focused on seeing the “three” posts throughout... Share this:TweetMoreShare on TumblrPrintRedditEmailLike this:Like Loading...

June 6, 2011 The Humility of God in Christ I started this post, knowing I was writing it to post for Monday — Music Monday, that is. But I had no ideas for what song to post. I didn’t hear any song that had sparked the idea for a post this week. But God... Share this:TweetMoreShare on TumblrPrintRedditEmailLike this:Like Loading... Categories Music Comments: 4
March 26, 2011 Understanding Vindictiveness in the Psalms and Real Life I’ve been reading (slowly) Reflections on the Psalms by C.S. Lewis. It is going slowly in part because, having read through chapter 4, I was compelled to go back and reread chapter 3. The title of chapter 3 is “The Cursings.” As is typical with Lewis,...

March 1, 2011 Finding God in Grief and Trials I’ve recently finished reading A Grief Observed by C.S. Lewis. I was quite surprised by how quickly I was able to get through its 76 pages plus Foreword and Introduction. Usually Lewis requires one to re-read numerous paragraphs to fully grasp just exactly what it... Share this:TweetMoreShare on TumblrPrintRedditEmailLike this:Like Loading...
