Welcome

Hello, welcome to No Mere Mortals. This is a blog covering some random topics, general thoughts, and assorted musings. It is written by an ordinary guy with no particular aims and no impressive credentials. The title No Mere Mortals is inspired by The Weight of Glory by C.S. Lewis. This conviction, that all people are divinely created and bound either for eternal glory or never-ending dread, will underlie everything written here.

I highly doubt that anybody will ever actually read any of this, so I will cut the welcome message here. If you do find yourself here, thank you for reading. You should, however, probably just go read C.S. Lewis instead.

“There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal… But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit- immortal horrors or everlasting splendors. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exist between people who have, from the onset, taken each other seriously…” C.S. Lewis. The Weight of Glory
