The Chronicles of Narnia
Over the March Break I decided to read The Chronicles of Narnia (one big book with all 7 little books in it). My brother saw the movie, got the book and the game for gameboy (yes go gameboy!). He hadn't opened the book or game yet. I had already read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and since I had nothing else better to do, I figured I might as well read it. I knew that it was writen by a Christian guy and it was a Christian book but what I read I never expected. It really kind of opens your eyes. You really should read it for yourself.
The Lion, Aslan, is Jesus. The Witch, is Satan. Edmund is the sinner. Edmund repented and you think everything will be fine. But the Witch needs a death sacrifice for the sins he has commited. Aslan goes in his place, is tortured and killed.
In another book, a little boy is upset because he thinks he's the most unlucky boy in the world. The Lion appears out of nowhere and asks him why he thinks that. The boy said he was found by a mean fisherman when he was a baby and was treated like a slave his whole life. He went on for a while about his problems but i forget most of it. The Lion explained why all of these things happened. The reason why the fisherman found him was because if he hadn't, the boy would have died. This says two things in my opinion. One, there IS a reason for every bad thing that's ever happened to you. The second is God is always there for you. Just like in the book, we can only "see" God when he chooses to show himself. But just because you can't "see" Him, that doesn't mean he isn't there. (See is in quotations because I have never actually seen God with my two eyes. I can however feel His presence and I know when He's there).
Anyway it's a really good book//series and I think everyone should read it. I have a french speech to write (start) because it's due tomorrow. =) (Please don't tell my french teacher) OK BYE!

(I, over March Break, got re-addicted to Pokemon Silver on my ancient GameBoy Colour!)
I wanted to read those books too...Whenever I go into Blessings or any other Christian Bookstore, they always have tons of displays on the series, but at first I thought they were just little kid books. But now I want to read them! lol...Can I borrow a book?
:)See you tomorrow...good luck on your French
Love and Peace
