House of Cards

In class we got to build a house of cards.  I hate building houses of cards.  Over the summer me and josh did an amazing race game.  And we were already frustrated with each other.  And we walk into this house and they said you have to build a house of cards.  On tiled floor.  In a kitchen with awful music playing.  It was so frustrating!!!!  And it was even worse that Josh was better at making em then me.  Awful.


But ya so when Corrigan was like build a house of cards I was sort of scared that I would get that irritated again.  But it wasn't bad we had another group by us.  So when we started talking about C.S. Lewis' metaphor I was glad I had my earlier experience with Josh.

Josh said a good point about C.S. Lewis' metaphor though how if you pull one card it all falls.  So if one part of your life is taken away it falls.  That's what C.S. Lewis talks about,  how his wife died and how that just took one card out of his house, and his faith began to fall.  And how he was like should I even build it back up if it will just fall again.   But the part I really liked was how he said God has made it fall.  To show Lewis how his faith was not built on a good foundation and how his faith was.  It was when Professor Corrigan came around the room and was like would you be upset if I pulled card out I said I would be very upset.  And that is what Professor Corrigan was playing, the role of God.  God knew that if He pulled that one card out it would fall and C.S. Lewis would fall apart too. 


So for now I will be learning how to build a house of cards.  So then the next time I am forced to build one I can finally do it and not be so frustrated.
