Quote

"The Christian religion is, in the long run, a thing of unspeakable comfort. But it does not begin in comfort. It begins in the dismay I have been describing, and it is no use at all trying to go on to that comfort without first going through that dismay."
C.S. Lewis

That's a good quote! Even God Himself incarnate went through "dismay" on the cross for "the joy set before Him" (Hebrews 12:2)

Chelsea, what's the source of that quote?

Hello Owen family! How is everyone doing? I am back at school with all the craziness. It was really good to be able to visit with you guys. I wish it could happen more often. Well I just wanted to say hi, and see how things were.
