Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses.

Halfmom, AKA, Susan said...: umh - that's painful. I don't like some of my neighbors!; 9:12 PM, January 18, 2009
Ted M. Gossard said...: Yes, Nancy. The older I get, the more I realize just how much good we can receive from C.S. Lewis' writings. I need to work on that.; 4:32 AM, January 19, 2009
Ted M. Gossard said...: Susan,
Yes. I know what you mean there.; 4:32 AM, January 19, 2009
Ted M. Gossard said...: I should clarify that: I don't like all my "neighbors" either, I'm afraid.

I guess that's in part why we're told that as much as lies in us, or insofar as it's possible by us, to live in peace with everyone.; 4:34 AM, January 19, 2009

Peach said...: A sobering thought....lol. Delighted to meet a fellow blogger who enjoys CS Lewis.; 10:21 PM, February 07, 2009
Ted M. Gossard said...: Peach,
Yes, C.S. Lewis is definitely one of the most favorite reads of mine. But I have yet to read all he wrote. His books, of course, are not just the kind you read once, but good to reread time and again.

Thanks for stopping by, and you have a nice start to your blog.; 11:08 PM, February 07, 2009
