Books I've Read: The Screwtape Letters.....

You know, I've found that to learn the wiles of evil, we needn't study evil - but when we are acquainted with the things of God, evil will be easily recognized. 

HOWEVER, there is a book that is a wonderful piece on the plans of the adversary and that is "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis.

Sophomoric in some aspects - I know the devil to be far FAR more cunning than this - it is still undoubtedly some of the corruptions and mentality of that evil one in trying to trap and trick us while appearing good and trying to persuade us that he is good and it is The Enemy (God) who is the evil one.

Road Trip: Oregon, Kelly Point! Yaquina Bay! Portland Temple! Timberline Lodge!

 I went to timberline the other night - got a couple photos but with the cell phone nothing fantastic.....anyways - had to have a hot chocolate - it was great - and snapped some other photos.  Took some pictures of the Portland Oregon LDS temple, and then went metal detecting at the mouth of the Willamette where it meets the Columbia and found a Marshmallow roasting stick....that my kids lost.....anyways, all these were taken with my cell phone - you can click on them and enlarge them - but - here you go - free pictures.  And enjoy the hot cocoa pictures....I like them best.....I spent a good ten minutes posing it for you, my fine readers.....it really is worth the $5.00 you spend on it.....
