I read Randy Alcorn's book, 'Safely Home', twice. Now, I'm reading 'Mere Christianity' by C. S. Lewis for the second time. It is the only book I recall ...that I've marked sections in the margins.
Our Pastor encourages us to write in the margins of our Bibles, or highlight sections. I've never done that before ...because I would be highlighting just about every line, and that would either be like changing the page color, or if I chose different colors it would look too psychedelic. And that would make it either blinding, or distracting at least.
But, I am thankful that there were my previous marks in the margins for quick reference ...because so much of what C. S. Lewis said is relevant to what I've come to conclude, and I'm going to quote him often here. I think he has great insight ...and certainly can present his thoughts more intellectually than I.
When I was young, my energy level often allowed me to proceed much faster than my brain. So, I could consume much food before my brain and stomach could even reach an agreement & convince me that I was full.
When it was evident that I was stuffed, I would often say, "I don't even want to look at another piece of pie!"
Perhaps next Thanksgiving I would forget that and indulge all over again. And Dad would always say, "Your eyes are bigger than your stomach."
