“Give up yourself, and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it. Submit to death, death of your ambitions and favourite wishes every day and death of your whole body in the end: submit with every fibre of your being, and you will find eternal life. Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given away will be really yours.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

“Kevin was diagnosed with a rare type of multiple sclerosis. His treatment will continue in Chicago . . .” And on she went, beautiful and to the point, my best friend, next to me, holding my hand, calmly telling the truth. Again as I had in the doctor’s office, I floated above the crowd, hearing the echo of talk below. As soon as Deb said “multiple sclerosis,” I came back to the room of reporters, and clarity replaced the reverb of noise.”

“The real Son of God is at your side. He is beginning to turn you into the same kind of thing as Himself. He is beginning, so to speak, to ‘inject’ His kind of life and thought, His Zoe, into you; beginning to turn the tin soldier into a live man. The part of you that does not like it is the part that is still tin.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

“all I was really doing was living life without blinders—learning, thinking, and most of all, giving thanks to God.”
