I've been reading C.S. Lewis's A Grief Observed, for the third or fourth time, and wow, I keep forgetting how good it is. Just in the first twenty pages alone I've found five or six topics for new blog posts. And of those twenty, almost every page has ...
Goodness, I completely forgot that today is C.S. Lewis's birthday! (Thanks to Bruce Edwards for the reminder and also for the tribute he wrote.)
So, C.S. Lewis. He's my favorite author, one who has influenced me in so many ways I can hardly keep track of them ...
Usually I have no problem coming up with something to blog about. Tonight is not one of those nights.
But that's not quite accurate, I suppose -- I do have two ideas, both written down on a yellow post-it note on my desk, but when I tried to start writing ...

In the spirit of my post a few days ago and as a variation on a theme by Rodgers and Hammerstein, I'd like to ask y'all what your favorite books are. You can list as many or as few books as you want. If you want to ...
1. I just took a humanities test in the testing lab downstairs. Shortly after I arrived, some guy came in and sat down in the row in front of me to take the same test. (I heard him tell the girl up front which class he was in.) ...
Just finished watching Shadowlands. (We had a showing as a C.S. Lewis Society activity.) And this time, as always, it left me scarcely able to speak. Sometimes the silence is so tangible and even holy in a way that you feel as if making noise would somehow ...
