Daily Spiritual Thought or Quote of the Day.

I was recently asked by a friend who occasionally visits this blog if I've stopped blogging altogether. Obviously that is a sign I haven't been posting often enough. I responded with a combination of an excuse of "too busy" and just haven't seen much in the news that interested me enough to take the time to post.

I've decided to start up again. I think part of the reason I slacked off was the length of some of my posts. To make it easier to post regularly, I'll mix in a (hopefully daily) Daily Spiritual Thought or a Quote of the Day. I'll give attribution when known. A word of caution: my merely sharing/repeating a quote may or may NOT equate agreement with the sentiment contained therein. Might just be a quote I thought worth sharing to demonstrate the fallacy of the idea expressed. Here is the first.

"I have been suspected of being what is called a fundamentalist. That is because I never regard any narrative as unhistorical simply on the ground that is includes the miraculous."

C. S. Lewis on Progressivism

Liberals have taken to using the word "Progressive" as a self-descriptive rather than liberal as liberal has fallen out of favor in recent decades. However, I don't think progress always means what they believe it does. Liberals are of a mindset that all change is progress. I, of course, disagree. Here is a quote from C. S. Lewis regarding the concept of progress:

We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turn, then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man.

If you apply that thought to our political landscape you will realize that in many cases actions and policies espoused by the left are not progressive at all as they are not leading us any place we should want to go.
