I think all Christians would agree with me if I said that though Christianity seems at the first to be all about morality, all about duties and rules and guilt and virtue, yet it leads you on, out of all that, into something beyond. One has a glimpse of a country where they do not talk of those things, except perhaps as a joke. Every one there is filled full with what we should call goodness as a mirror is filled with light. But they do not call it goodness. They do not call it anything. They are not thinking of it. They are too busy looking at the source from which it comes. But this is near the stage where the road passes over the rim of our world. No one’s eyes can see very far beyond that: lots of people’s eyes can see further than mine.

Not Jack... Clive.

Actually Clive liked to be called Jack...when he was like four years old he announced that he was to be called Jacksie and would only respond to that. Then over time it became just Jack and is what he was called the rest of his life.
Fun facts.
Gotta luv it. One of the best at making heaven reality. And as usual, he closes with humbling remarks.
