Day 11 of my beautiful journey.

Almost missed this one! Made it in just under the wire!

I have been watching a lot of Narnia lately. I took my wife to see Voyage of the Dawn Treader for her birthday (in 3D :) It was a good movie, but if you've read the books you will be disappointed. I have read the entire series multiple times. I love C.S. Lewis, and no matter how hard the movie makers try they cannot seem to cut out C. S. Lewis's true intention for the entire Narnia series. That intention being Lewis's Savior. Allow me to illustrate with some quotes.

"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."

"Safe?" said Mr. Beaver."Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you."


What C. S. Lewis created in Narnia is beautiful.
