I thought Christmas Eve would be a good time to start a new category dedicated to my favorite writer.  44 years after his death, C.S. Lewis continues to shed light on the truth for all of us lucky enough to come across one of his many books.  As an atheist turned Christian, his scientific approach to faith changed everything for me.  Here is an excerpt I thought was appropriate for a white Yellow Christmas.

From Letters to Malcolm...
God is all.  But the whole point of creation surely is that He was not content to be all.  He intends to be 'all in all.'  One must be careful not to put this in a way which could blur the distinction between the creation of man and the Incarnation of God.  In creation, God makes/invents a person and injects him into the realm of Nature.  In the Incarnation, God the Son takes the body and human soul of Jesus, and, through that, the whole environment of Nature, all the creaturely predicament, into His own being.  So that "He came down from Heaven" can almost be transposed into "Heaven drew earth up into it," and limitation, sleep, sweat, footsore weariness, frustration, pain, doubt, and death are known by God from within.  The pure light walks the earth; the darkness, received into the heart of [God], is there swallowed up.  Where, except in uncreated light, can the darkness be drowned?

May we all feel/see our darkness swallowed by pure light tomorrow. 

Merry Christmas.
