For the love of C.S. Lewis

Not just an amazing author of children's books like the Narnia series; C.S. Lewis' has many alive and well quotes that I was reminded of today when I was thinking about what to write.  I found a neato website called Brainy Quote and looked through the list of C.S. Lewis quotes and thought I would blog my favourites.

Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind

A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.


Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.

Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.


I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

I gave in, and admitted that God was God.

If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.

If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.


Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.

Miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature.

No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear

Reason is the natural order of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning.

The safest road to hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.

There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, "All right, then, have it your way."

Thirty was so strange for me. I've really had to come to terms with the fact that I am now a walking and talking adult.

You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body

Fall in Love

I have been an in love Christ follower for over a year now.  I grew up in the church, my parents strong followers of God and in a fairly Charismatic church but I never loved God in my heart just knew in my head he was real.  I have had an interesting life and maybe one day I will blog more about it but see my first few blogs to get a sense of how my life has been.  God was so obvious in many aspects of my life I couldn't run away even when I really really REALLY wanted to. 

That is a self portrait of me last year, although I was starting to know God it wasn't until this year I had a BAM moment and fell in love

When I had a light bulb moment of God's love I really did!

I knew so well that God loved me and there was and IS no one that can convince otherwise.  It is just so true. It all happened at a conference called Supernatural Life and a guest speaker an amazing man of God called Rolland Baker.  He first asked for all those crazy and out there people to come onto the stage. Well anyone who knows me knows that I am definately one of those people...so I ran up onto the stage like he said and BAM all of my body turned in what can only be described as light and electricity!  I was so charged up and happy I couldn't contain it.  I had depression for 14 years I NEVER really got that happy, I faked it often but never really felt it.  This night I did and I fell in love with God.  I haven't had any antidepressants since, not one!  God is so good!

Who's feeling Deviant?

I thought I would do a blog post on some of my favourite Deviant artists.  I am a user of Deviant aRt myself and love that my photography gets free publicity as well as looking at other Photographers and artists giving me inspiration and a 'BUZZ' of pleasure just having a look at them.

Burning the Midnight Oil

Okay, not a big fan of the band, though I did almost perform a dance to "I'm too sexy" dressed as a cat @ school when I was 10 but not a big fan.  Really though I am not talking about Midnight Oil, New Kids on the Block (the band I actually danced to) or my childhood.  I am talking about the fact that it's 4am and I am still very awake and blogging it up instead of sleeping, I may regret this as the sun starts the kiss the cheeks of the neighbourhood.  My right hand it far more colder than my left although it's my right hand doing most of the work with the mouse and the keys on the keyboard...well that part I can't be sure of.  Oh dear I must be rambling.  Lets see.

As the night wind blows, the midnight candle out

The change in my mood is clear,                       whom shall I fear?

Joy a candle that no wind can blow out, sails the songs on my heart and lifts

Life into being free.

Free to be ME

          no matter what the cost to what the world believes

                                                                                             I have no desire for such things

Whistling Midnight winds that sing such lonesome lullabies

No not my thing at all

Yeah thats it.  Exactly what I was thinking a poem.  Hmm, slice that one up and place on the saucer with your tea! YUMMY!!!!
