“Meditation in a Toolshed”

In my study I often get distracted. Reading one article often leads me to look up something else that is referred to, and reading that reference very easily leads to another discovery. This morning, following that path of learning, I found a brief reflection from the writer of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” (the Narnia Chronicles): C.S. Lewis. Lewis calls his reflection “Meditation in a Toolshed” It was originally published in  “The Coventry Evening Telegraph”. (July 17, 1945)

Every day I am with people who may have once been baptised but now feel a distance between themselves and the Church and God. We are these people, as are too many of our family, friends, neighbours and workmates. This book therefore is for us.
