Good Friday

Today is Good Friday. The computer is the only technology I am allowing myself to use today, and I have had to part with my beloved music collection (*sniff*) temporarily. I have been on a cross walk, gone to Stations, and plan on going to a thing-that-is-sort-of-like-Mass-but-isn't where I shall be singing (ohhhhh boy). I just wanted to make a short post.

I am sure that anyone reading this has seen or read 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe'. If you haven't, WHY ARE YOU HERE!? Are you stalking me? I know people like that. I also know people who wear a little too much make-up, but that's off topic. Most people tend to get a little teary eyed while Aslan is being killed, right? (Unless, of course, you are Jordan and think that it's the best part of the entire movie and make the rest of us skip ten scenes just to watch him die!!! I didn't even get to see Peter push Ed over... My favorite part... Not fair, not fair at all.) I was just thinking about that scene today and was wondering, why do I get so emotional while I watch that movie, but not when I'm here in church? Maybe I feel a little guilty about the subject: I am more fascinated with fantasy than reality. I don't really have a good explanation as to why, but it might just be because there is something about an alternate reality that never ceases to amaze me. What I have found is this: if we could just take a look at Aslan's suffering and realize that REALLY DID HAPPEN, that not only Edmund Pevensie is saved but WE ALL ARE, and that He didn't just defeat the White Witch's army but DEATH ITSELF, it all comes into proportion.

... I know, that was very serious and very deep, but I felt that I just had to write it. Here are some more pleasant things I have to tell you... I would also like to tell you, yet again, to go to Viola's blog www.bitonarnia.blogger.com because she has lots of VDT stuff and she is getting me VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY pumped! I want to tell Elwen that I have the most amazing plan for TEA and I think I have the plot for our next novel basically worked out. I shan't be revealing anything other than that because, well, because. Just in case. I can't wait to hear from all of you and I'm sorry that I write so much. Lastly...

"A lady of Narnia should not eat her lunch early on a day of fast, or else she may just starve to death."
