Whew! I just now turned in my big projects for the week. That was a good feeling. Even though I enjoy working on such projects, these particular ones took a while because I kept needing to tie up loose ends and find photos to go with them ... then figure out how to best incorporate the photos into the text. :-) It's hard to describe, but it almost felt like a battle getting these projects completed. Praise the Lord that they're done. It's way exciting, though, what God is doing among these Mising tribal people in North India, and I hope to post more about that soon.


I can't believe how quickly this week has gone by. Looking back, it's been a pretty good one! In between working on projects, taking walks, and petting Dorie's neighbor's cat Chester, I managed to watch Beyond Narnia, a docudrama on the life of C.S. Lewis. [Okay, so what is a docudrama anyhow? Maybe a cross between a drama and a documentary? ;o)]

When four kids (strangers) came and stayed in the country with C.S. Lewis and his brother during WWII (for their safety), their normally quiet and peaceful life was totally disrupted. Yet through this "interuption" came the inspiration for Lewis' classic Chronicles of Narnia. This totally spoke to me about how some of my experiences can be used in my writing, and how the hard things we all go through in this life as Christians can be used in our lives to reach out to others. That really encourages me!

I also had the opportunity to watch for the second time the new Narnia movie. Wow. So much great spiritual application there. But on a different note for now, as I fear time is of the essence, I will just leave you with what has got to be one of my favorite scenes of dialogue in the whole movie. :c)

"Further in," Beaver urges, looking around nervously, when Luci asks if her friend Mr. Thomas is alright.

Peter and Luci begin to follow him.

"What are you doing?" Susan cries out in surprise.

"She's right -- how do we know we can trust him?" Edmund sputters.

Peter shrugs. "He said he knows the faun."

Susan's response: "He's a beaver. He shouldn't be saying anything." :oD
