“There is an extraordinary charm in other people’s domesticities.”
~ C.S. Lewis

Lewis places his finger on the magic and privilege I feel whenever I step into someone else’s home. Commonplace to them, each home is a revelation to me.

“In my most evil moments I was convinced that I was doing good, and I was well supplied with systematic arguments. And it was only when I lay there rotting on prison straw that I sensed within myself the first stirrings of good.”

Just went to a *real* movie theater. They ran 20-30 previews of coming attractions, and I loved them all! I would’ve gone just to see the trailers in the big screen.

As a teenager I applied for a job at the library.
“How are you at alphabetizing?” they asked.
“Fine,” I answered. “How are you with hearing that song all day long?”

King David knew:
One good question is worth more than a thousand easy answers.

"One thing I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple." (Ps 27:4)

@andysquyres I think this is "Fisherman Andy" speaking. I wonder what "Pre-Fisherman Andy" might say.

In my teens and early twenties I had an overwhelming sense that God had destined me for some great thing, some epic achievement.
And I still think it’s true.
But over the last 40 years he has been gently teaching me the meaning of true greatness.
