There are those days when nothing seems to go right,
but…
stopping for a minute, to think, pray, reflect
and drink a cup of tea.
…that usually fixes it.

New Phone
I’m definately a proponent of technological devices, but I hadn’t actually gone as far as getting one myself…
until this weekend!
I am now a proud owner of a T-mobile Shadow with Windows Mobile.
Now I’ll be even more addicted to email…
Fairy Tales: Are they Over for Us?
In his discussion of “The Golden Compass” ( a movie based on a book by Phillip Pullman), Jeffrey Overstreet makes this comment:
“Christians have become so suspicious of fairy tales, fantasy, and
imagination that we have created an environment in which it is very unlikely
that we will see another imagination like Tolkien and Lewis emerge.”
…which, if this is true, makes me very very sad, because if this is true, then the recent death of Madeliene L’Engle means that there are very few good storytellers out there with a Christian worldview.
Who wants to prove this statement wrong?
I do, for one.
…and I think Overstreet is also out to prove himself wrong.

November 6
Also known as voting day.
However, for me one event overshadowed all others. The release of the xbox 360 game “Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga.”
I will add that I found myself addicted to Lego Star Wars last March. So much so that I went out and bought myself a 360 console.
Yes.
And to this day, other than a few arcade games, my video game library consists now of TWO Lego Star Wars games and one Halo 2. (yah, I am not so good at Halo, so I am not sure if I will ever get around to purchasing Halo 3)
I hear that there is a Lego Batman game in the works…
Brilliant.
