Pete:

I think you’re right that the very best thing that could happen would be for a new generation to be drawn to read the books. We listened to some of them on tape during our drive home from Maine, and I was enchanted all over again.

Re: LWW, I saw it for the scond time yesterday and I like it less. I know that may make me unpopular with you guys, but I accept the consequences. Lucy, Tumnus, and the witch were very good. Aslan was a disappointment. Edmund was not nearly as wretched as he should have been. Peter was too hott (or so my girls say). The scene at the beaver house was butchered, as was Kirk’s monologs.

Now, I know that my opinion is just mine. The most important thing is that a new generation of TV addict children will be introduced to one of the best children’s stories of the 20th century that the Lord has used in countless people’s lives. For that, I am thankful. Yesterday I happened to sits next two two young mothers of pre-school children. It was obvious they had no clue about Narnia or the Gospel. They were clearly drawn in. (After Aslan is killed and lying on the stone table one of them asked the other, “I wonder what’s going to happen next?”)

I’m able to just paste the link from my post, but to actually get a trackback to work from Haloscan, so that it shows up at this post, it doesn’t seem to be working. Oh well. I’ll just keep linking only.

Have a great Christmas.

It is way too early in the morning for me to read such effusive praise. Thanks, Mark.

You see?

Ladies and Gentlemen, if you haven’t realized it before now, the handsome man in the fedora is Geof Morris, the brains and braun behind this blog. He set me up with this almost two years ago, and its changed my life in many unexpected ways. Only a few people know what Geof has given in great love to foster community between people around the globe. He’d be on my top ten list of people I deeply honor and respect, no joke.

Hey Mark, am I doing something wrong or is your trackback not working? Whenever I click â€œtrackbackâ€ to get the link it just does a 404, page not found error.

Brandon: You just want to paste that link, not click it. WordPress doesn’t mess with TrackBack autodiscovery.

Hmmmâ€¦thanks for letting me know, Brandon. Iâ€™ll bring that to the attention of my server hostâ€¦who, since he reads this blog, will probably have it fixed before I get to contact him!

You rang?
