Episode #43
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Our God is marching on
Write 20+C + M + B+23 on the lintel. The numerals are those of the new year. C + M + B stand for the legendary names of the Magi – Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar…. C + M + B also stands for the Latin words Chirstus, mansionem benedicat: “Christ, bless this house.” …Some people do this writing over every threshold in the house. That’s appropriate in January, a month that literally means “doorway” – our entrance into another year of grace and life with Christ.
"Anecdotally, we know of almost no parents over the age of fifty who don’t have at least one adult child who is dechurched.” The Great Dechurching by Jim Davis, Michael Graham, and Ryan P. Burge

“And as He spoke, He no longer looked to them like a lion; but the things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write them. And for us this the end of all the stories, and we can most truly say that they all lived happily ever after. But for them it was only the beginning of the real story. All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Last Battle
