Midlife

The world is so built that, to help us desert our own satisfactions, they desert us. War and trouble and finally old age take from us one by one all those things that the natural Self hoped for at its setting out. Begging is our only wisdom, and want in the end makes it easier for us to be beggars. Even on those terms the Mercy will receive us. – C.S. Lewis, “Three Kinds of Men”

Steve, it amazes me that I spent all those years in church with you and didn’t realize what a thinker you are. I love your blog posts. Keep it up!
