Today is this man's birthday! ...please tell me you know who this is! Okay, let's think through this logically. Sheryl is writing this blog post. What man in history lived a little over a 100 years ago? You got it.
Today is
C.S. LEWIS'S 114th BIRTHDAY!!!!
I was trying to find an appropriate quote from Lewis that would end this post in a tear jerking way, and some how connected with birthdays, but instead here's a quote from Perelandra:
"The whole struggle was over, and yet there seemed to have been no moment of victory. You might say, if you liked, that the power of choice had been simply set aside and an inflexible destiny substituted for it. on the other hand, you might say he had been delivered from the rhetoric of his passions and had emerged in unassailable freedom. Ransom could not for the life of him, see any difference between these two statements. Predestination and freedom were apparently identical. He could no longer see any meaning in the many arguments he had thought on the subject."
~C.S. Lewis, Perelandra.
Have a happy 29th day of November!
