It's actually the first in a trilogy, but the other books ('perelandra' and 'That Hideous Strength') are nowhere near so good.<br /><br />Thank you so much for the prayers!Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13230537202427640540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-28585484606488321522017-05-18T01:13:53.626-07:002017-05-18T01:13:53.626-07:00Andrew, I really like this post.

Children who go back and forth between their parents have a period of emotional readjustment every time they go from one home to the other. It's hard on them. This is true in group homes and institutions. One year I taught a fourth grade girl whose parents were incarcerated. She was the oldes of three sisters, who were farmed out to three homes of relatives. Every morning she would greet me on 8:00 yard duty and then go find her sisters on the primary playground. They would stay together until the bell rang. They needed that little bit of contact. It always touched my heart.Meridian Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13415904614368419453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-20037750601367161272017-05-17T06:54:54.141-07:002017-05-17T06:54:54.141-07:00These are wonderful, Andrew.

I'm always so astonished at how much you try to be the best spouse you can be given your situation. Very inspiring! Oh, and I love C.S. Lewis but haven't read this book you mention. Sounds very intriguing! Praying for you, my friend!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13156048755652103073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-91161905365975406342017-05-16T22:57:47.521-07:002017-05-16T22:57:47.521-07:00Mary, thank you so much for this...I really do try...Mary, thank you so much for this...I really do try my best, and this kind of affirmation means the world to me.<br /><br />And thank you for checking up on me.
