  6. Some other fediversians are talking about The Bible right now, so I'm going to talk about Narnia.

    I read the first book as a kid, but I did
    not read the sequels. As a teenager I played Peter in a stage adaption of *The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.*

    During the rehearsal process, I told my friends that I thought the ending didn't make sense.

    We get a prophecy that the Pevensie children will save Narnia. They sort of do (a lion does most of the actual work). And then, suddenly...the Pevensie children are proclaimed the rulers of Narnia.

    Huh? They have done nothing to demonstrate that they would be good national leaders. They fought in a big battle, but that doesn't say anything about their capabilities as peacetime rulers. Also, there's little indication they've done anything to earn the support of their people.

    The Pevensie children's sole qualification to rule Narnia seems to be "because Aslan says so." And maybe that makes some sense if you believe in the divine right of kings, or if you assume Aslan is using his omniscience to know in advance who the best leaders will be.

    But I wonder if I had been in Peter's position, and Aslan just proclaimed me the High Queen of Narnia, if I would say "No, I'm not qualified for this. I haven't done anything to earn it."

  11. For the last few years, I’ve reread #TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe each March while I waited for #Spring.

    This year, I’m rereading #TheLongWinter. There’s something comforting about reading about #Winter just as it’s about to end in real life.

  15. By some whim I'm rereading #TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe by #CSLewis and (spoiler alert) we sort of wait until Chapter VII before we hear the first mention of #Aslan.

    "They say Aslan is on the move—perhaps has already landed."

    That one sentence warms my chest with so many feelings: hope, anticipation, gratitude. Aslan is on the move.

    Right now my nation is entering its 7th year of darkness because of the Marcoses and the Dutertes. Perhaps God is on the move here. Perhaps we must always hope.

  16. @nathanalbert I remember being a weird kid in early-70s, small-town, East Texas who mostly just jumped from one interest to another, trying unsuccessfully to find something that would make the other kids be nice to me. Nothing was working.

    Reading #TheLiontheWitchandtheWardrobe put a stop to that. It made me feel, for the first time, like there was a reason for other people to be my friends. It didn't make those kids like me, of course, it just made me weirder. (2/x)

  21. @nathanalbert I'm back. Your post, @nathanalbert, has really had me thinking ever since I posted the reply, above, and I've decided it's time for a little oversharing.

    I first read #TheLiontheWitchandtheWardrobe in early gradeschool. That was in the early 1970s, so it's been a minute. Here's how I remember it, though. Up until that point, I don't think I had a firm identity. I had a personality, of course, but that's not quite the same thing. (1/x)

  26. @nathanalbert There've been so many transformative books for me. If I had to choose one, though, it would be #TheLiontheWitchandtheWardrobe, by #CSLewis, which probably had the widest ripple effect. I read it in grade school and it set my little mind on fire. I already loved #reading, but reading that book made reading feel like my super power! It ignited my love of #fantasy and #scienceFiction, and, though I didn't realize it at the time, set the foundation for my spirituality.
