First Post

The first post of a new blog should be profound with something new and exciting to say. But as we all know, "There is nothing new under the sun." Unfortunately, I fall into the category that most of us fall into - no new and exciting original thought. I am good, though, at reading the exciting and original thoughts of other men, more learned than I am, and putting them out here on the web for all to read. So, to start out this oh so bonafide blog, let me start with a quote from one of my favorite authors, C.S. Lewis in The Silver Chair -

"Do you mean everything will come right if we do untie him?"
said Scrubb. "I don't know about that," said Puddleglum.
"You see, Aslan didn't tell Pole what would happen. He only
told her what to do. That fellow will be death of us once he's up,
I shouldn't wonder. But that doesn't let us off following the Sign."

As usual, C.S. Lewis has brilliantly shown us in the above passage what the Lord expects of us - obedience. Nothing less than obedience to his Word. The Lord doesn't promise us peace and prosperity but does promise "... all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."
