My friends and I went to the midnight showing of Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
last week, and it was excellent! The writers did take a significantly larger amount of artistic license with this film as opposed to the first as far as following the book, but I still liked it and actually felt that even the new parts that were added stayed true to C.S. Lewis's style and theology. I think my favorite part was the summoning of the White Witch and the scene thereafter, which is a big turning point for Peter.
Another scene that caught my attention days later was one in which Lucy ventures away from the group in the early morning to find Aslan waiting for her in the woods.
A remarkable little known fact about me is that I like to keep a hymnal in my bathroom, and I flip open to a page from time to time while I am drying my hair, brushing my teeth, etc.
Yesterday, early in the morning, I flipped it open to the song called "In the Garden", which I have hated since childhood. It sounds annoying, and its very old fashioned and cheesy. However, yesterday, I decided to love it, because it reminds me of the aforementioned scene where Lucy runs to meet Aslan with SO much joy, and they stroll together and he tells her incredible truths, and she listens. And I guess that's how it should be. Here are the lyrics.
To some of you, this will be a familiar memory..others probably have never heard it and will never hear it and that's ok! Read it if you want, if not, stay tuned for something else another day:
I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses,
And the voice I hear,
falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses.
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,And He tells me I am His own,And the joy we share as we tarry there,None other has ever known
He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me,
Within my heart is ringing.
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,And He tells me I am His own,And the joy we share as we tarry there,None other has ever known.
I'd stay in the garden with Him,
Tho' the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go, thro' the voice of woe,
His voice to me is calling.
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,And He tells me I am His own,And the joy we share as we tarry there,None other has ever known.

You are an amazing blogger. Just don't run out of steam before you leave and I don't actually get to see you anymore...
Whoa, whoa, whoa.......hold the shuriken, jerkin'!!!! You forgot to mention the best part of the night....it was my birthday!
Also, about your blog, my fav part of the movie was when Lucy says to Aslan "I was beginning to wonder if you would ever show up", to which Aslan asks "Did you ever doubt me?" Biblicly, it means a lot. As for "In the Garden," George Strait has a good version; also Watermark: http://search.playlist.com/tracks/in%20the%20garden/5.
Right on, Mike! That was an awesome part, and YES! I forgot to say that it was YOUR BIRTHDAY! WAHOOOOOO! Happy birthday plus two weeks or so. Come over and play rock band. It is IN my house right now!
