This is Not Home

“Grief is like a long valley, a winding valley where any bend may reveal a totally new landscape.”
-C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

I am a C.S. Lewis geek and because of this, I will almost always side with Lewis on matters of faith and theology, but in light of the recent events in my life, I am going to side with Lewis on his observations of grief as well. In the span of two weeks, my grandpa (who from here out will be called by his real name: Pops) and a colleague, friend, fellow youth minister, and mentor passed away unexpectedly.
