Is There Anyone Out There? (Part 1)

An attempt at a short story - part 1 To be lost is like waking up one day and finding yourself in a pitch black cave. The cave is so dark that you cannot see your hand in front of your face. As you attempt to get your bearings, you stumble around, scraping your hands and knees on the sharp jagged... Sign in to see full entry.

Wrapping up my thoughts on C.S. Lewis -

In Lewis’ last book called, Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer, he writes that while mankind has been created for relationship with God, they need not wait for Heaven to participate in this relationship, or connection. Reasoning that God is not only Creator of all things; thus, above all things,... Sign in to see full entry.

C. S. Lewis’ search for longing moved him toward the acceptance of the “True myth”, Christianity, and in 1931, following a conversation with J. R. R. Tolkien and Hugo Dyson, Lewis writes to Arthur Greeves stating “he had just passed on from believing in God to definitely believing in Christ, in... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

To reflect can mean "to give back or show an image of." It can also mean "to meditate upon, to ponder." I am constantly amazed at the beauty of nature and when seeing something that I find interesting or beautiful, or when I see something in nature that mades me stop and ponder it, I find my way back to reflecting upon how it mirrors the Creator of this Universe. I hope this blog will present mirror images that cause us to ponder God and his character on display. copyright ©2009 by Mary Armstrong All Rights Reserved.
