Abolition of Man

"In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midsts. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful." -Abolition of Man, Lewis

I don't know if this counts as a mental post it note, But the term "men without chests" so influence my thoughts and view of life that, much like your memory in the previous post, it pops up and reminds me where to focus.

Good posts.

“I don’t want my life to be explainable without the Holy Spirit. I want people to look at my life and know that I couldn’t be doing this by my own power. I want to live in such a way that I am desperate for Him to come through.That if He doesn’t come through, I am screwed.”
