Last Lord's day was our second attempt to observe the Christian Sabbath. On that day I borrowed "the Pilgrim's Regress" by C.S.Lewis from my pastor, and I have been reading it ever since. It's an allegorical story about C.S.Lewis's conversion. It's great. Anyway, in it Lewis quotes Francis Bacon, and the quote reminds me of trying to keep my mind clear, or rather focussed, on Sunday:
"Doth any man doubt, that if there were taken out of men's minds vain opinions, flattering hopes, false valuations, imaginations as one would, and the like: but it would leave the minds of a number of men poor shrunken things: full of melancholy and indisposition, and unpleasing to themselves?"
Deborah now will talk to family, so I must leave.
