Oh, I really wanted to love this movie! But I didn't. Narnia was a large part of my childhood, and the film just didn't quite tap into that wonder. Here's my review (from b77): I agree about the Talking Horses: people should NOT be riding them! But the reason they did that here is that they pretty m...

Feel better, Frelga and Jn ! We usually light about 37.5% of the required candles, largely because (1) like so many, we can't read calendars properly, and (2) it takes us the first five days to figure out where we put the menorah last year. The Jewish side of the family is very, very, very secular. ...

Shoot, I missed vison being drawn in! :) By the way, Voronwë, the President has got to be mentionable in a thread that contains claims that Christians are being persecuted. Since he does, you know, hold the top position of power in the country. :) On that other barn: I'd bet my last fifty cents it w...

Whistler , the darkness and horror of those books (from what I saw) is in the behavior and attitude of the Christians . Not just that they are fighting something evil, but that they abandon what's most human in us in the fight. Even the Narnia books have a lot to say about compassion, and about how...

This is a sweet thread! I play violin in a community orchestra (actually, I'm concertmaster now, which means I'm playing the violin solo for Vivaldi's Spring in February [which in this part of the world IS spring, I'm afraid! :)] -- lots and lots of scary little notes); I've played fiddle some and w...

Dear and most respected Whistler -- I also love these wise words of yours: Our business is to do the works of kindness, forgiveness and compassion. God will take care of the future however He sees fit, and doubtless there will be some big surprises in store for us all. But when earlier you equate th...

It seems to me a rather wonderful thing that there really are -- in this pedestrian, rational world -- people through whom some sort of brighter Light passes. In their presence even those of us who are pretty wedded to physical explanations can sometimes feel touched by the sweet breath of Something...

Jnyusa , I'm very moved by your dream. I wear that mantra (om mani padme hum) on a necklace around my neck in memory of my mother, whose mantra it was. It's almost uncanny for me to see your post here today, because I just got back from a Quaker meeting where the chief thread turned out to be compa...
