"The Christianity Lewis espouses is humane, but not easy: it asks us to recognize that the great religious struggle is not fought on a spectacular battleground, but within the ordinary human heart, when every morning we awake and feel the pressures of the day crowding in on us, and we must decide what sort of immortals we wish to be."
- Kathleen Norris, preface to C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity"
In a flash of recognition, I see how my thoughts are subtly weaved by twisting sin in a sick tapestry. With silver-tongued whispers, my mind is led astray of my heart. I fear that this dangerous game of attrition will eventually spell my fall. Please, let not the coiling serpent corrupt that which is good in your sight, oh Lord. Strengthen me to vanquish the demon from the temple of my heart.
