cool quotes from tonight's reading

from "The Problem of Pain" C.S. rad Lewis:

p. 46 - "A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell."

p. 47 - "To be God--to be like God and to share His goodness in creaturely response--to be miserable--these are the only three alternatives."

p. 47 - "If we will not learn to eat the only food that the universe grows--the only food that any possible universe ever can grow--then we must starve eternally."

don't know about you, but I'm going to seek to share in God's goodness--a fitting response for a creature such as myself; i'm going to seek to eat the only food the universe grows--God, His holiness, goodness and love.
