Moving on
The first book I read of former atheist C. S. Lewis’ was SURPRISED BY JOY. When his mother died, his father sent him to a boarding school because he thought he’d be raised more properly than what he could do.
DEAR ABBY: Eighteen months ago, I was staying with my son and his family when they had a get-together with his wife, “Corrine’s,” father. His wife, Corrine’s stepmother, had just finished chemo for several different types of cancer. When Corrine’s dad went to leave, I offered to put together a small plate for his wife, hoping it would make her feel better. When Corrine saw this from the outside, she came in and accused me of “giving away family food that her son might want.” They have lots of money, and I replied that I just thought it would be nice for the recovering woman, and if Corrine thought she needed more food for her son, I’d be happy to get it. My son and his wife have barely spoken to me since. I have offered to meet them for counseling and have sent my grandson little gifts every month, which have gone unacknowledged. I saw them for the first time last month at a family wedding. They barely said a word, and my son avoided me. The rest of the family could not believe how rude they were to me. I don’t know what else to do. I have reached out. I’ve written notes. When I talk with my son on the phone, he’s receptive. Then he talks to his wife, and all of a sudden, nothing is acceptable. Please help. -- ESTRANGED IN CALIFORNIA DEAR ESTRANGED: Could there be more behind this than you have mentioned -- perhaps hurt feelings that drove Corinne over the edge? You have done all you can to make up with your super-sensitive daughter-in-law (who appears to be uniquely possessive of her food). Take a step back. Sometimes, things get better with time, and that is what I am hoping will happen for you.
It is the heart and soul of everything. The soul of man, I mean. Whether we are all just a composite of atoms wandering about in an existence that touches, and only touches those things made of atoms, and the death of the body is the annihilation of our being, or, as Christianity holds, human beings are composed of a material body made up of atoms and an immaterial soul that gives our mortal bodies their essence and personhood, questions of the soul’s existence define what it means to be human. In short, either human beings have a soul, or they don’t. It is really that simple because if human beings have no soul, then Christianity is not true, and atheism reigns supreme. However, compelling evidence for the existence of the soul, and a great deal of it, comes to us through the assessment of objective and observable phenomena. Most notably, from the inexplicable origin of human consciousness, from the testimony of Near Death Experiences, and from general religious experiences that help guide us toward correctly answering the question, “Do human beings possess a soul that survives the death of the physical body?” In 907, a man
