In preparation for seeing Prince Caspian tonight, I just finished the book. I had forgotten a lot of it, but it was still good ( even for an adult ). Last night it really reminded me to keep my eyes on God, which is always a good reminder. Also, it ...

Ok, did not know blogging, especially this type of blogging, would be so hard. Anyway, to continue from last time, the thing I really appreciate in the Harry Potter books, especially this last one, was the loyalty of the friends to each other. Especially ...
