old man stuff

so, i'm getting down to do more old man stuff. reading books in my free time(not at work), taking a break from all those computer games(helps when you have a mac, which is incompatible with tons of windows games, and then in addition to that i don't have a whatever geforce blablabla graphics card) and making instant soup(erm cos i'm supposed to be too old to make proper soup?)

OK SO I ADMIT THIS IS PROBABLY NOT WHAT ALL OLD PEOPLE DO. JOEL'S DAD PLAYS COMPUTER GAMES FOR GOODNESS' SAKE. AND IT'S NOT TEXAS HOLD'EM POKER ON FACEBOOK(like my dad does) IT'S LIKE CALL OF DUTY 4 OR 5.

but hey, this is something nice. i'm reading this book that has collected quotes by C.S Lewis on topics ranging from A to Z. and it's a pretty good way to unwind, contemplate God's goodness, and at the same time sound like a really high class guy who has read those incredibly hard to understand C.S Lewis books.

so, another nugget that i have from reading said book.

on Glory:

The promise of glory is the promise, almost incredible and only possible by the work of Christ, that some of us, that any of us who really chooses, shall actually survive that examination, shall find approval, shall please God. To please God... to be a real ingredient in the divine happiness... to be loved by God, not merely pitied, but delighted in as an artist delights in his work or a father in a son - it seems impossible, a weight or burden of glory which our thoughts can hardly sustain. But so it is.

pp.96-7
