The forecast for the next couple of days is rain and then more rain. I can’t explain it; but when this happens, I find myself wanting to gather up all my C.S. Lewis books and go some place alone to read, study, and think. Oh, I need to think these days and listen for the Lord’s words of encouragement.

Meanwhile, here’s another quote from Lewis that was written to a friend: “I’m all for a planet without aches or pains or financial worries, but I doubt if I’d care for one of pure intelligence. No senses (no relish of smells, tastes), no affection, no nonsense. I must have a little fooling. I want to tickle a cat’s ears and sometimes have a slugging match with an impertinent squirrel. My lecture has proved a best seller and I’ve no copies left. . . . You’ve got it nearly right: the only error being that instead of saying the Great Divide came between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, I said at great length and emphatically that it didn’t.  But of course ‘not’ s a very small word and one can’t get every fine shade just right!”

There was such a real and practical side to Lewis.  May the same thing be true of me and of you.

This morning was clear, cold, and beautiful at Toccoa Falls. Look at the sunlight hitting the water at the top!

God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there.

There is no such thing. —C.S. Lewis

I didn’t realize just how dark it was yesterday afternoon when the snow moved into northeast Georgia. Today is totally different. There is blue sky and at least three inches of snow on the ground.

A few minutes after the snow started to fall.

Just a slight dusting of snow at this point, but there was more to come.

Finally after being touched by ice a couple of times, there was snow at Toccoa Falls today.
