The Weight of Glory

This post is under construction for an indefinite period...I'm on Canadian soil in Britain time and dealing once again with wonky wireless. :) so here it is without its "fullness". I might have to find a booth at Starbucks to get this done! uhmm....

We flew through the fluffiest clouds on our descent into Toronto yesterday. They were so striking in fact, with sparkling sun-beams radiating through, Catherine and I could only gaze in wordless adoration of the sight.
...He's pitched a tent for the sun in the heavens, which is like a bridegroom, like a champion, bursting with energy - nothing hid from its heat...
I love the words associated with this visible glory of God - resplendant, robust, visible to all!
CS Lewis wrote an essay with the above title and in it he expounds the enormity of this idea of image bearer.
"It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet (if at all) only in a nightmare. All day long we are...helping each other to one or other of these destinations. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal."
