"We are men and women moving farther up and further into a greater kingdom."
This quote from a Jim Carattini emailing [A Slice of Infinity] suddenly makes deeper sense of that wonderful cry from the end of C S Lewis' 'The Last Battle' - 'further up and further in'
Up: the Christian journey is always one of being called upwards - to new heights, but needing resilience for the climb.
In: into the depths of our new country, exploring all that it has to offer, more and more true to itself (in the sense that at the borders countries are virtually the same, but each takes on greater distinctiveness as we travel further in.)

If you've never read"The Last Battle" then you've missed something great. The passage to which Martin refers so full of excitement, really good, wholesome, even holy excitement, as people travel at break-neck speed "Farther up and farther in" to the very heart of Aslan's Narnia. It's a long time since I read it, but I can still sense the excitement!
