Good...I hope I didn't come across as snitty or trifling :-) I just thought it was a profound observation of Lewis's that most people think of God as a "supernatural" being, and yet He is the very definition and source of all that is "natural" ;-)

Not in the least, I actually find it refreshing to find someone who takes so great care with their words, as most people are extremely careless with them now.

After all, while I do not subscribe to the idea of “words of power”, so to speak, I do understand that there is a certain amount of power in the words we do speak. This is not due to some mystical power that the words themselves hold, but because of the fact that, as Christians, we have the power, through our faith in Christ, to bind or loose things in realms beyond our present understanding. That is not to say “supernatural”, as I agree with you that most of what is “supernatural” is actually just on a different plane of existance, it just means we don’t fully understand it yet. We are, literally seeing “...through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”

There is much, much more to this world than what we see presently.
