Heartbreakingly Beautiful

Posted in Film, Music, Television, Books on Wednesday, January 31, 2007 | 14 Comments »

I am not a huge Wizard of Oz fan, by any means. I find the song “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” sung by Judy Garland and others as dreamy, somewhat wistful, and somewhat sappy all at once. I find the medley of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow / What a Wonderful World” sung by Hawaiian singer Israel [...]

C. S. Lewis Film Online

This is not the the Lewis biography I referenced in a recent blog entry. That one is in the latest box set of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe movie from Disney. It has an interesting style, with a group of children reading from the books in various places. It is really quite good, [...]

Erasing Hate Seminar and the L’Abri Conference

Posted in Church Life and Theology on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

The Matthews House Project, the same people who produced Narnia on Tour, in 2005 and evidently again in 2008, are doing a series this year which looks worthwhile. Moreover, the St. Louis session is by Jerram Barrs, so it promises to be engaging, thoughtful, and challenging. Not in St. Louis? Here are some other cities [...]

Love’s As Warm as Tears

Posted in c. s. lewis on Friday, January 19, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

Love’s as warm as tears,
    Love is tears:
Pressure within the brain,
Tension at the throat,
Deluge, weeks of rain,
Haystacks afloat,
Featureless seas between
Hedges, where once was green.
Love’s as fierce as fire,
    Love is fire:
All sorts—infernal heat
Clinkered with greed and pride,
Lyric desire, sharp-sweet,
Laughing, even when denied,
And that empyreal flame
Whence all loves came.
Love’s as fresh as spring,
    Love is spring:
Bird-song hung in the [...]

Unleashing My Inner Pakistani With a Little Bit of Soul

Posted in Pure Silliness on Wednesday, January 17, 2007 | 4 Comments »

OK, so probably 95% of Pakistani men have a moustache, which they grow from whenever they can to the end of their lives . I generally avoid just a moustache alone because it makes me look older, unlike say my middle brother Adrian, for whom a moustache makes him look just kind of ruggedly handsome.
