Nov. 22, 1963

For those of you old enough, I'll ask the well worn question. Do you remember where you were on November 22, 1963?
Sure we all do.
C.S Lewis, an Irish born novelist, literary critic, essayist, and Christian apologist died that day. Lewis is known for writings such as "The Screw Tape Letters," "The Space Trilogy", and others. Lewis was an atheist in this early adulthood. He gravitated toward Christianity over the years. Lewis came to believe that the atheist philosophy couldn't answer his troubling questions about the universe, and all it encompassed.

That same day another man died. He was Aldous L Houxley, also an English writer known for works like "Brave New World", and "Oxford Poetry." Huxley started out just as confused as Lewis. Huxley took another route which led him into parapsychology, and mysticism. Psychedelic drugs were part of his journey.

And yes John Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.
