Let the Battle for Narnia Begin!!

Excerpts from C.S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia




‘There is a way into my country from all the worlds,’ said the Lamb; but as he spoke his snowy white flushed into a tawny gold and his size changed and he was Aslan himself, towering above them and scattering light from his mane.
‘Oh, Aslan,’ said Lucy. ‘Will you tell us how to get into your country from our world?’
‘I shall be telling you all the time,’ said Aslan. ‘But I will not tell you how long or short the way will be; only that it lies across a river. But do not fear that, for I am the great Bridge Builder. And now come; I will open the door in the sky and send you to your own land.’
‘Please, Aslan,’ said Lucy. "Before we go, will you tell us when we can come back to Narnia again? Please. And oh, do, do, do make it soon.’
‘Dearest,’ said Aslan very gently, ‘you and your brother will never come back to Narnia.’
‘Oh, Aslan!’ said Edmund and Lucy both together in despairing voices.
‘You are too old, children,’ said Aslan, ‘and you must begin to come close to your own world now.’
‘It isn't Narnia, you know,’ sobbed Lucy. ‘It's you. We shan't meet you there. And how can we live, never meeting you?’
‘But you shall meet me, dear one,’ said Aslan.
‘Are - are you there too, Sir?’ said Edmund.
‘I am,’ said Aslan, ‘But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.’


~ The Voyage of the Dawn Treader




When Jill stopped, she found she was dreadfully thirsty… She listened carefully and felt almost sure she heard the sound of running water.
Jill…looked around her very carefully. There was no sign of the Lion; so she plucked up her courage to… look for that running water.
…she came to an open glade and saw the stream, bright as glass… [A]lthough the sight of the water made her feel ten times thirstier than before, she didn’t rush forward and drink. She stood still as if she had been turned into a stone, with her mouth wide open. And she had a very good reason: just this side of the stream lay the Lion…
“Are you not thirsty?” said the Lion.
“I’m dying of thirst,” said Jill.
“Then drink,” said the Lion.
“May I—could I—would you mind going away while I do?” said Jill.
The Lion answered this only by a look and a very low growl. And as Jill gazed at its motionless bulk, she realized that she might as well have asked the whole mountain to move aside for her convenience.
The delicious rippling noise of the stream was driving her nearly frantic.
“Will you promise not to—do anything to me, if I do come?” said Jill.
“I make no promise,” said the Lion.
Jill was so thirsty now that, without noticing it, she had come a step nearer.
“Do you eat girls?” she said.
“I have swallowed up girls and boys, women and men, kings and emperors, cities and realms,” said the Lion.
“I daren’t come and drink,” said Jill.
“Then you will die of thirst,” said the Lion.
“Oh dear!” said Jill, coming another step nearer. “I suppose I must go and look for another stream then.”
“There is no other stream,” said the Lion.

See the trailer for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe!!

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

"Two are better than one; because they have a good return for their work; If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm, But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."

Just wanted to let you all know that I love you guys! Thanks for being there for me.

"Fightin' the System Like a True Modern Day Robin Hood"

I watched the Wright State performance of The Mikado, which is a very funny operetta about the town of Titipu. I would give a description of the plot, but it would be too long and confusing, so I'll give this site to read instead. I highly recommend the show which still has a performance on Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon.



"Just the good ole boys..."

The first trailer for the Dukes of Hazzard movie is up and running, and I must say, it looks pretty sweet! I've been a fan of the original series and was a little hesitant about a movie version, but it looks like they are staying pretty true to the series. The only thing I'm not too certain on is Burt Reynolds as Boss Hogg. He may have the attitude of Boss H, but definately not the looks. Danny DeVito would have the part to a T, but oh well. I noticed that Roscoe P. Coltrane is missing from the trailer, but the actor playing him looks the part, so I'm pleased with that. Overall, I'm glad to see the General Lee back in action.

Yee-Haw!

ADVENTURES BACK HOME: Episode 1 - Terror in the Driveway

I had to go back home this last weekend to sing at church and afterwards my mom wanted me to come over for dinner, so I spent the day at home with the fam. It started out alright, that is until my sister woke up! :p Man, was she in a foul mood!! But later on, she calmed down. Then my mom and sis decided to bring back some food from the local "dairy queenish" like place.

Now, the restaurant isn't too far from the house, so the two of them decided to walk there with the family dog. When they got there, it started to sprinkle, so my mom sent my sister back home to grab her car to pick them up. And what happens when my sister tries to drive the car out of the driveway....?? She hits my car!! Now, my car didn't get that much damage, just a scratch on the driver's side door that a little bit of paint will fix up. But my sis' whole front bumper came off! My sis just shrugged it off and had her boyfriend come over and fix it.

So, if you ever wonder how someone can hit a parked car in the driveway... my sister is living proof.

Now I'm off for some food!
