“It will not bother me in the hour of death to reflect that I have been “had for a sucker” by any number of imposters; but it would be a torment to know that one had refused even one person in need.”  C.S. Lewis

A great thought to ponder as we leave our comfortable churches only to shun the hands on the corner asking for help.

“Is any pleasure on earth as great as a circle of Christian friends by a fire?”  C.S. Lewis

I liked this thought very much. I have experienced some wonderful moments just being in the presence of others who have the same heart for Christ as I do. The love level is raised to new heights I had never experienced before.

“Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend.”   Theophrastus

“The next best thing to being wise oneself is to live in a circle of those who are.”   C.S. Lewis

“To walk out of His will is to walk into nowhere.”   C.S. Lewis

“Whenever you are fed up with life, start writing: ink is the great cure for all human ills, as I have found out long ago.”  C.S. Lewis

I loved this quote because as a writer I have found a medicine in the art of pouring out what may be smoldering inside. We can never light up the rest of the world if we are unwilling to share our own fire.

Passionate living! What does that mean? Are you in a job? Going about your routines? Perhaps even attending a church? But do you move in passion?

“God gives His gifts where He finds the vessel empty enough to receive them.”   C.S. Lewis

As I read this observation I can only anticipate how much He will fill me up. With every outpouring I have to wonder, “am I not yet empty enough”?

“One of the great uses of literary history is to keep on reminding us that while man is constantly acquiring new powers he is also constantly losing old ones.”     C.S. Lewis

“As for wrinkles–pshaw! Why shouldn’t we have wrinkles? Honorable insignia of long service in this warfare.” C.S. Lewis
