“We believe that Christ rose again the third day and ascended into heaven; or we accept the far more incredible hypothesis that 'there is no God'; or, anyway, the God of Revelation, in his adorable Personality, has ceased to be for us. There is no middle way.” * “Faith is, then, the simple trust of person in Person.” * “We are inclined to make our religious aims subjective rather than objective. We are tempted to look upon Christianity as a scheme of salvation designed and carried out for our benefit; whereas the very essence of Christianity is passionate devotion to an altogether adorable Person.” * “Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.” ~ G.

I just came across the 100 Days a couple of weeks ago while looking at timeline things. It has come to mind a few times since and i happened (coincidence? i think not.) back across the page (in one of my open tabs) today. Looking forward to intentionally keeping for a few months! Poetry and C.S. Lewis and Charlotte Mason are on the list.
