Peace in Our Time

So sure, there’s always gonna be someone rattling his saber (nuclear or otherwise) in its sheath, always someone stealing an election (or claiming his opponent did so), always a pandemic and a flood and a drought and a high-profile divorce. If we weren’t greeting by this sdaily chorus of discontent,

Ascension Day…

…the day that You abandoned us, leaving this world God-haunted. I know the Holy Ghost comes as a Comforter, leading us into all truth. But I must admit this truth leaves me as cold as the presence of Your absence in this world. You went away. You left us here, to muddle through as best [...]

“Weeping Lasteth the Night”–A Lenten Meditation

A number of my friends are going through some really difficult times. And I’ve had my share of late. These thoughts came up–sorry if they sound preachy. If they do, rest assured I’m preaching mostly to myself. They say weeping may last the night, but joy cometh in the morning. True, and one of the [

On Turning Stones to Bread–A Lenten Meditation

Of the three temptations Jesus faced in the Wilderness, I find that only one holds any sort of appeal for me. All the kingdoms of the world? No thanks. I have trouble enough keeping my apartment in order, much less all the mess that all the kingdoms might make. Throw myself down? Try the provision [

You too?

I’d like some feedback please, just a minute or more from the dozens of you who stop by. Many people feel intimidated by C. S. Lewis. A bunch of people confess (usually to my well-placed spies rather than to me) to feeling intimidated by ME as I talk about the man. You too? Tell me [...]

Sursum Corda: A Meditation and Hymn on the Lifting of Hearts

So it happened again.  I sit there innocently enough in church, and when the sermon starts, my mind wanders to some related topic, and phrases kinda pop into my head and don’t leave.  Always obedient to the Muse, I take paper from the bulletin and start scribbling. I hope the preacher doesn’t mind;

Oh, HELP!

My friend Steven and I have been searching for alternatives to this theme, but nothing looks so nice.  If you like doing such things, we’re in search of something with a variable width, 2 OR 3 columns, something that uses FAR less blank real estate on the sides (see the big margins here~~> and here

“Perhaps the point of fairy tales”

In Matt. 18, Jesus said (essentially), “Unless you turn into a little child, you’ll never get where you really want to go.”  Lewis said that when he became a man, one of the childish things he put away was the fear of appearing very child-like.  Yes.  Exactly.  And so here’s  little poem from a whil
