Good old Jack!

C.S.Lewis recorded a series of radio broadcasts during World War II which eventually were compiled into the book we know as "Mere Christianity". Apparently, because of the war effort, the reels were recycled. But, one survived and has been published on YouTube. It is very neat to hear words which are familiar to me from his book spoken by his own voice. Enjoy!

Here is a link to a documentary on Netflix that I watched tonight which examined how America truly was founded on Christian principles, guided by them and run by men that held to them for years until a sudden change accured. Very interesting information. Encouraging to get a good look at what America's roots are. So sad to see just how far we have fallen from what we once were. The video is from 1995 and though the style and decor is dated, its well worth the 56min it will take to watch it in full.

"Shine, shine, shine on us. 
Oh God, we need Your love. 
These streets aren't bright enough. 
Oh Jesus, shine on us!"



"In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."
John 1:4-5



"And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved."
John 3:19-20

In Christ

A Missionary's Prayer for Us

What does Jesus get for His birthday?

It was dark, I do remember that. Bedtime. Smoothing back hair, kissing foreheads.
One round moon hanging large outside the window, an ornament dangling off stars, decorating the night.
I had gifts to wrap. So, pull up the blankets. Prayers. And then, when I’m at the door, one hand on the doorframe, resting in the light of the hallway, I turn to close the door a bit on the dark.
He stops me with just one question:
“What does Jesus get for His birthday?”
The words hung… strung me up.
I say the words into the black. Um… A cake? Our love?
I can hear him turn again in the bed, roll over on the pillow. Restless…
“But Mom…. if we get wrapped presents for our birthdays, real sacrifices from people who love us — they gave up other things to give something to us — then why don’t we do that for Jesus’ birthday?”
I stand at the door looking into all that light cast down the hallway.
Why is the sky blue, why do we blink, how do clouds hold all that water, the children ask me a thousand questions and the world spins dizzy on a million questions I don’t know the answers to.
I stand in the dark, the light right there, and I grope for the answer that could change the world…
