“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”
-C.S. Lewis-

A Thought to Ponder
Some of you might know that i am not a big fan of C.S. Lewis, not for a good reason or because i have really read much of his stuff, but because at Bethel i cant go a day without hearing his name. just drives me up a wall sometimes. None the less i was online looking at different quotes from different people and i came across this one by the one and only C.S. Lewis and i thought it was very good and very true so i am lowering my pride and going to share it.
