Worth Thinking About

"How vain painting is, exciting admiration by its resemblance to things of which we do not admire the originals."
- Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), Pensees, no. 36
I have benefited greatly from the brilliance of Pascal over the years. Reading his Pensees (Thoughts) has helped shape my worldview and driven me to Christ. Perhaps Dr. Peter Kreeft, associate professor of philosophy at Boston College, has said it best: "Every pensees, every word in every pensees, is a cobblestone in the road leading to the same Christ, a sign pointing to the same home."

Very pensee provoking. Looking forward to the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Praying for travel mercies for JM and blessings on the ministry.
