“He who surrenders himself without reservation to the claims of a nation, or a party, or a class is rendering unto Caesar that which of all things most emphatically belongs to God: himself”

—CS Lewis in “The Weight of Glory.”

Absolutely brilliant and relevant to our time… from CS Lewis:

“There is a story about a schoolboy who was asked what he thought God was like. He replied that, as far as he could make out, God was ‘the sort of person who is always snooping around to see if anyone is enjoying himself and then trying to stop it’.

And I am afraid that is the sort of idea that the word Morality raises in a good many people’s minds: something that interferes, something that stops you having a good time.

In reality, moral rules are directions for running the human machine. Every moral rule is there to prevent a breakdown, or a strain, or a friction, in the running of that machine.

That is why these rules at first seem to be constantly interfering with our natural inclinations.

When you are being taught how to use any machine, the instructor keeps on saying, ‘No, don’t do it like that,’ because, of course, there are all sorts of things that look all right and seem to you the natural way of treating the machine, but do not really work.”

“I have found the one whom my soul loves.” — Song of Solomon 3:4

Marriage is one the Lord’s best ideas, and I can’t get over that I get to share it with .

I’ve highly regarded marriage forever. And now I personally highly recommend it.

8 Reasons the Student Loan Forgiveness Program is a Terrible Idea — Cory Truax 1.       It’s illegal. Even Nancy Pelosi said earlier this year that no president has the unilateral power to forgive student loans. Even she acknowledged that power belongs to Congress. The president is fallaciously and dishonestly using emerge

This student loan "forgiveness" plan is one where the cosmetologist, the plumber, the taxi driver, the farmer, the carpenter, the roofer, shelf-stocker, and the manufacturing line worker pay the debt of the pharmacist, the engineer, the financial advisor, and the physical therapist.

It's wrong.
