Alrighty then!!!

Yeah, I think a half hour session under those lights IS QUITE ENOUGH.  hehe  WOW!  They aren't that bright, but sum total?  I feel like I just downed two pots of coffee, with sugar, thank you, thank you very much, hey, stay and talk, just a little, a little more, hey, where are you going!  That has some serious punch to it.  No, I didn't shine it into my face!  I am a creature of the night, by habit and perhaps biology.  I am sun adverse.  I had that light as subdued as humanly possible while still allowing me to use it as a reading lamp.  *Don't touch me!*  Said I to the light.

And the book?  It is a great read so far.  Screwtape Letters, or some such, by C.S. Lewis.  I had zero idea what to expect.  I didn't know if it was a general Christian q&a, a theology manual, or what.  Yes, sure, I have read the youngen books by Mr., Dr.?, Lewis.  And, yes, I have had this book on my read list since about the time I stopped reading... say... 22 years ago, really... wait, make that 32 years ago.  Anyway.  However, if I have a book 'on order', I take great pains to avoid spoilers.  I do believe I have the capacity to empty short term memory as well, no, better than, any computer.  Yes I can dump data, so long as there is no strong or binding principle or emotion involved.

I should have read this book long ago.  The few chapters I have glided through have impeccably devastated my efforts at Church attendance.  Things I have written here, about dress codes and such, are clearly... explained.  As well, the notion that it was about me, the shallowness at times and certainly at the beginning of my new-found career as a Christian... All of it, underscored, explained, highlighted, for my delighted (horrified) full understanding.  On the good side, it seems the devil did not drive me from the pew.  That has mostly simply been health.  Further, much of what I wrote, I later corrected "myself" (I use quotes because I doubt myself, I assume good comes from God, I either allow it or not... or some such... work with me).  I know I revisited my discussion of the man who came to Church wearing heavy metal t-shirts.  And how I realized... he regularly attended and I did not.  No, regular attendance, in this situation, isn't apple to apple, nor is it The Way, if it is rather large.  No, just that I had to, and did, rethink the situation.  I was humbled, and gladly.  So, while I have struggled with the very things noted, I have also sought wisdom for it and I have been satisfied, to the good, with the outcomes.  Still, I have to chuckle at how close to home the novel already comes.  I hope I can see a bit into my future to avoid a few other potential pitfalls to come?  Blarney but when they shoot blind and still hit me!

Shower taken, book read, light lamp ILLUMINATED MY DAY, I shall now seek to complete a few endeavors in town.

Good DAY.  Wow but that light is bright, if I didn't mention it.  WAKEY NOW.  hehe
