In my search for something to teach my kids today - Joy is asking to learn now!!!! I decided upon the writer of the NARNIA books - C.S. Lewis! So Joy has to know which ones have movies made about them: book 2 - The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, book 4 - Prince Caspian, and book 5 The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Also, Joy had to know if he was dead - I said "Yes, but he was a Christian." To which she responded, "So we'll see him up in Heaven!" I said he wrote a lot of Christian books, the Narnia books for example. Then she began to connect the dots as we've told her before that Aslan is the King like God, the White Witch is like the devil, and even the children become kings and queens like we are princesses and princes because we are children of the King of Kings! Everyone doesn't BELIEVE in Narnia, but those who know it is there BELIEVE - just like HEAVEN! Also, we learned something new today in the front of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, he writes a dedication to his god daughter Lucy (I'm sure that is where he got her character!) Here is the amazing writer and Christian thinker himself, the world would have missed out without him :) Shannon has successfully read The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe to Joy but we need to continue reading these wonderful stories to our children. As for now, we will watch the movie of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader!
