The last time I used the word "fillip" was in 2015, in a fictional work.
Funny thing was that I'd been trying to remember the word in recent months, but I couldn't.
Guess where I found the word again tonight?
In an C.S Lewis" excerpt of course. Truly a man of the letters.
Christianity is not just “dogmatically” true or “doctrinally” true. Rather, it is true to what is there, true in the whole area of the whole man in all of life.
— Francis Schaeffer
How do you get better at describing places? It's the thing I struggle most with and I tend to find I gloss over descriptions in books, too. How can I fall in love with description?
I admire how C.S Lewis grew up around books and how he also had parents that were great examples at reading.
Such a great template for raising literature-driven children.
Stories, regardless of the presented form, are some of the most powerful mind-changing tools.
Imagined or not, our perceptions are heavily influenced by the stories we believe.
God has high standard for art, and obviously he does not and cannot endorse the content of work that is pornographic or propagandistic, or that violates his character in some other way.
—Culled from one of my best reads on Christian Art, Art for God's Sake by Philip Graham Ryken
The best line of poetry I found today:
"As for now, earth is a glowing cigarette"
I like this line because it is graphic.
I like this line because it is scientifically true.
However, there's hope beyond "a burning cigar" for those of us in Christ.
