Losing your wallet?

At several points I have thought I have lost my wallet and in those moments I’ve always thought “Wait! What was actually in my wallet? What do I have to replace?!”

Today I thought I’d leave myself a little note of everything currently in my wallet…

  • Credit Card
  • Debit Card
  • Joint Account Card
  • Costco Card
  • US Driving License
  • Green Card
  • Business cards
  • Office security fob

It’s the end of an era…

Hey everyone…

On 11th June 2010, I posted my first article on this blog. As hard as it is to imagine, that was ten years ago

I began with a free WordPress blog over at thisrestlesspilgrim.wordpress.com, and then I upgraded to get my own domain. I started posting once or twice a week, but after a few months committed to publishing something every day. To date, I have posted a little over 3,600 posts…

Well, today things come to an end. As you may know, in a few months I’ll be getting married and entering a new phase of life. In light of this, while will still from time-to-time still write articles, I’ve decided to stop posting here every day. Since today is my birthday, it seemed like a good day to draw things to a close.

This new chapter in my life will require my full attention…and it’s going to be great 🙂

Cheers,

David.

One minute book reviews: George MacDonald

Since in the podcast we are currently working our way through The Great Divorce, I thought it would be advisable to become more familiar with the character of George MacDonald. MacDonald was a minister and writer who greatly influenced C.S. Lewis. Lewis said that reading MacDonald’s Phantastes “baptized” his imagination.

I therefore read George MacDonald: An Anthology, which was assembled by C.S. Lewis. It contains 365 extracts from MacDonald’s work, such as the following:

#262 A Lonely Religion
There is one kind of religion in which the more devoted a man is, the fewer proselytes he makes: the worship of himself.

It was fascinating to see the themes and threads of thought I have seen in Lewis’ work in that of his master. It has certainly whet my appetite to read more of MacDonald’s work.
