Quote for Friday

I wasn't going to blog today, because my awesome little sister is in town and I took the day off! But I ran across this quote yesterday and it was too awesome not to share:


"You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body."
- C.S. Lewis

Have a great weekend!

That's awesome. I love CS Lewis. His conception of hell in The Great Divorce was one of the inspirations for my ms that's currently on sub.

Oh man! I just recently saw this quote and repeated it to my husband. A whole theological debate ensued. I quoted dead people. It was awesome.

Perfect quote.

I love Dr. Raymond Moody's classic book LIFE AFTER LIFE... it speaks directly to this. He collected experiences from people who clinically died and were brought back to life. Their spiritual experiences -- hovering outside their bodies watching -- are remarkably similiar.
