Happy Weekend!

Happy Weekend!

Jim is almost finished his class here in Fort Collins and soon we are headed to a family vacation where I will be TOTALLY OFFLINE for awhile. Doesn't that sound refreshing?? But I am setting these posts to keep posting through next week, so keep coming by!

In light of the last post on the lifelong process of joining your heart to another, here is a great quote to ponder from C.S. Lewis's The Four Loves:

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable."
