Narnia
Last night Lynsey and I took her cousin's who are in elementary and middle school to see Narnia. They were at home, all doing homework, had no idea what was coming. Lynsey walked in their house and asked them if they wanted to go see Narnia instead of doing homework. The scene was equal to what you might find if your favorite team was losing in the super bowl but in the last second of the game the other team fumbled, turn over, an your team won. It was if we just gave the kids a million dollars.
That for me was worth the price of the movie. Beyond that the movie was good . . . somewhat entertaining . . . I guess it was about what I expected. We filled the kids with lots of sugar then returned them to their parents.

Robin and I went and saw it last night too!
Pretty good. Entertaining. Not life changing, but good none the less. I would recommend it.
The best part was the fact that we got away for a date! :-)
I agree- Narnia was a good movie; an adventure into a different realm of life- a land ruled by imagination.
I just read a book that I hope will one day be made into a moive as well, just like narnia.
It is called "The Fall of Lucifer", written by Wendy Alec. It is a fictional account of the angel's perspective throughout history and into the future. The main characters are the three angelic brothers: Lucifer, Gabriel, and Michael.
As the Christmas season draws near, this book has opened my understanding to the extent of the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made in coming to earth to save mankind and why he would do so. The novel develops the beauty of heven and the grotesque quality of hell, the depths of evil, and the beauty of grace. It communicates these themes through beautiful imagery and an intriguing plot.
This is a fast read, 300 page novel that is a good spend of your holiday cash. I hope they make this book into a movie. It would be amazing.
