Pirates of the Carribbean: At the Worlds End
2007-05-30 21:56:00
Went to see the final Pirates of the Caribbean film on Saturday. After a slightly disappointing second film I was hoping this one would be an improvement. Well it was and it wasn't. There is an ambiguous statement if ever there was one. In some respects it is better than the middle film. The plot strands are tied up for the most part although not in a particularly happy way. Johnny Depp is brilliant as usual with the film coming alive when he enters it in a very surreal way. However due to the plot heaviness this film lacks pace and action and even the final climactic battle isn't that grandiose.As you would expect from a film based on pirates each character has their own agenda and double crosses everyone else to achieve those aims. Will wants to save his father, Barbossa wants the Pearl, Captain Jack is motivated by Captain Jack. Several characters die in this film but I won't divulge who they are. The resolution of the Will Turner/Elizabeth Swan love saga is not your usual dis...

Trusting God's Goodness in the face of the evidence!

?Is ? is he a man? Asked Lucy?Aslan a man!? said Mr Beaver sternly. ?Certainly not. I tell you he is the King of the wood and the son of the great Emperor-beyond-the-Sea. Don?t you know who is the King of the Beasts? Aslan is a lion ? the Lion, the great Lion.??Ooh!? said Susan, ?I?d thought he was a man. Is he ? quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion.??That you will, dearie, and no mistake,? said Mrs Beaver; ?if there?s anyone who can appear before Aslan without their knees knocking, they?re either braver than most or else just silly.??Then he isn?t safe?? said Lucy.?Safe?? said Mr Beaver; ?don?t you hear what Mrs Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? ?Course he isn?t safe, But he?s good. He?s the King, I tell you.??The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe?, Chapter 8, C.S Lewis, © C. S.

Half my life knowing God!
2007-05-25 22:49:00
It suddenly dawned on me today that I have been a Christian for half of my life. Being 36 and having become a Christian at 18 doing the math means yes I have been a believer for 18 years. I found that quite shocking. Mainly because I still feel like a spiritual baby sometimes. Fine I have many opinions on things but I always feel immature compared against many other folks. Now I know comparing yourself against others is not a good thing to do and I do not do it that often. I am comfortable with who I am most of the time and generally where I am at.However I still have this deep seated feeling of being young. I guess a lot of the time I still feel like a kid. I have childish impulses to do things that grown ups don't do. I remember when I was doing my counseling course at CWR, I was only 25 and felt very young. I felt why should any adult listen to me because of my age. However I still feel like that sometimes 11 years later when I am staring down 40 in the not too distant future. I...
