I did not "discover" Lewis again until I became a Christian and a mom. "That Hideous Strength" clicked with me. I had been carefully and vigilantly watching the Media because we lived and worked in the inner city, among the people we served. The Media's antics put people in danger and it was often. 40 years later, nothing's changed, and everything's "Nice."Joan of Argghh!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14729682908266300507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-82160073499435479422016-11-08T15:09:09.266+00:002016-11-08T15:09:09.266+00:00Can anyone else feel the supercharged electricity ...<i>Can anyone else feel the supercharged electricity in the air today?</i><br /><br />My wife just told me:<br /><br />"I had the worst insomnia last night.

"We all have the opportunity to wake up if we want to.

And they hate and fear those who find meaning in the world so they belittle and deride them as much as possible. It wouldn't matter if they only harmed themselves but they drag so many others down with them. It has to be said, though, that no one is forced to do this. We all have the opportunity to wake up if we want to.
