An old friend - always welcome at Thanksgiving! CS Lewis,1898–1963 Academic, Author and Christian apologist.

                                           Psalm 119:165  

                                  (Image Luke 19:3 Zacchaeus up a tree )  

Great 

peace 

have 

they 

who 

love your law; for them 

there is no stumbling block. 

 I have found 

a desire within myself that no experience in this world can satisfy; the most probable explanation is that I was 

                          made for another world. - CS Lewis
