Blossoms


It was a beautiful day for a walk, cherry-blossoms, photos, decorating eggs, and ice-cream.

I also read some C.S. Lewis. Once again... please allow me to share...

"When we have understood about free will, we shall see how silly it is to ask, as somebody once asked me: 'Why did God make a creature of such rotten stuff that it went wrong?' The better stuff a creature is made of (the cleverer and stronger and freer) then the better it will be if it goes right, but also the worse it will be if it goes wrong." (CS Lewis)

"Only a bad person needs to repent: only a good person can repent perfectly. The worse you are the more you need it and the less you can do it. The only person who could do it perfectly would be a perfect person--and he would not need it." (CS Lewis)

"A live body is not one that never gets hurt, but one that can to some extent repair itself. In the same way a Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man who is enabled to repent and pick himself up and begin over again after each stumble--because the Christ-life is inside him, repairing him all the time, enabling him to repeat (in some degree) the kind of voluntary death which Christ Himself carried out." (CS Lewis)

"The central Christian belief is that Christ's death has somehow put us right with God and given us a fresh start." (CS Lewis)
