Our weekly Monday night Family Night is shifting to Sunday nights. And Easter seems like the perfect time to switch.

Backwards Christianity (Keep Back Nothing)

Give up yourself,

    and you will find your real self.

Lose your life

   and you will save it.

Submit to death,

    death of your ambitions

        and favourite wishes every day

    and death of your whole body in the end:

Submit with every fibre of your being,

    and you will find eternal life.

Keep back nothing.

    Nothing that you have not given away will be really yours.

    Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead.

Look for yourself,

    and you will find in the long run only

hatred,

loneliness,

despair,

rage,

ruin,

and decay.

But look for Christ

    and you will find Him,

and with Him everything else thrown in.

(from Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, pg. 225 (Harper Collins).  Poetical arrangement added.)

My youngest son has a new girlfriend. Apparently his mom approves.
