To brighten your day… (actually, it does brighten our day to find someone who gets it, right?).
From A Grief Observed:
“Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery’s shadow or reflection: the fact that you don’t merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.”
No kidding.
By the way, I like to play a fun game when I read Christian books.
Count how many pages it takes until the author quotes C.S. Lewis.
I don’t think there’s a Christian book written, post-1980, that doesn’t quote Mere Christianity before Chapter 2. Usually, it takes until chapter 6 to get to Screwtape.
