book

You leave home, you move on and you do the best you can.
I got lost in this whole world and forgot who I am.

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
this brokenness inside me might start healing.
Out here its like I'm someone else,
I thought that maybe I could find myself.

So I read this book a while back... In the Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss. Stinking story made me cry. Another one of my silly fantasy books. I think I like fantasy because it is entertaining, stretches my imagination, usually contains only small amounts of sappy romance, and typically contain lots of sword-play. Anyway, I occasionally come across an author that slaps me in the face and tweaks my heart strings one way or another.

Bruce Wayne (batman) is killed. By his father. Man that's sad, and of course ironic.

I'm sure he's not gone for good. They rarely do that, especially when said character is making good movies. Most likely it's a soap opera "twist" or something.

“You realize in their absence how valuable the character is,” said Dan DiDio, DC’s senior vice president and executive editor. “Bruce Wayne will always be back as Batman someday.”

Walter Lane spoke at Netherwood this Sunday about priorities, and the message of Christ's death and resurrection being the of first priority in the gospel. I don't know, I may have lost some readers just by using the word "gospel." It's not as commonplace of a word as it used to be. It means good news, the revelation of Christ to the world. It is synonymous with truth. To take something as "gospel" means to assume it is true.

In any case, it is based on this message from Paul (1 Corinthians 15:1-8):

The Chronicles of Narnia is an allegorical series of books written by CS Lewis. They've made two recent movies based on the books, and I've been surprised at the amount of allegory they left in there. I mean, when it comes down to it, there's too much message in the books to avoid, which is pretty cool.
