I'm going to be re-reading C.S. Lewis' book of this title over the next few days. Thoughts on it to follow in a few days....
Just finished reading Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography. Interesting, funny, and also sad because he seems to have been a person who knew God existed and even believed in living a moral life, but he thought he could do this on his own. He devised a multi-step system of becoming morally pure and sinless, all on his own strength. He does not seem to have believed in a personal relationship with the Lord, repentance, atonement, etc. And yet he was so intelligent, creative, hard-working, and persistent. After reading his auto-bio I felt more sad than anything.
I'm also reading an anthology of Civil War poetry. Thoughts on that later....
