You Can Do It
Sunday, I saw The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, which also happens to have been my favorite book as a child. Last year, travelling abroad, I was fortunate enough to have a pint at the pub, The Eagle and the Child in Oxford, where CS Lewis sat down with J. R. R. Tolkien and The Inklings while visiting my good friend, Beverly. The pub kept a pair of slippers at the bar for Lewis on those late nights. Now, just how cool would it of been to be a fly on the wall during those conversations...been on my mind this week with all the Disney chatter in regards to the Christian allegories as it relates to the plot in this paticular book.
Watching the movie (which I loved) Peter's personal journey really stuck a note with me, I related it to my own life at present—being responsible and taking charge just as you realize there's so much more to know, and being able to find that thread of confidence and run with it to accomplish your goal. Simply put, having faith in yourself.
If you believe you can do it, you will. And I think I will embrace that as my 2006 resolution, to stop doubting myself so much (being my worst critic) —just believing that I can do it.
Hmmmm....what deep message am I going to get from King Kong this week? I don't know, but I'm really excited to see this film, too~!
Oh yes, my new favorite song—'I Can't Take it In', someone was very wise over at Disney and had Imogen Heap write a track for the Soundtrack. It play's as the credits roll on screen, and fades out into the last scene, after some credits have rolled—so stick around for that part.
*Love her*
Did You Know?
CS Lewis is renowned for his many books and writings on Christian apologetics.
"An eminent academic in the field of English literature at Oxford University (1925-1954) and later Cambridge University (1954-1966), he was baptised into the Church of Ireland, but became an atheist while still at school.
He rediscovered his belief in God when he was 31, citing as a contributing factor, the parallels between Christianity and pagan myth in recurring cycles of "dying and reviving" gods. This led him to consider the extent to which these myths prefigured the person of Jesus Christ and he later claimed "my conversion very largely depended on recognising Christianity as the completion, the actualisation, the entelechy [bringing to perfection] of something that has never been wholly absent from the mind of man."
