“Since it is so likely that children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage.” — C.S. Lewis One of the reasons that both Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholics speak so highly and so frequently about saints (as do some of the Anglo-Catholics) is that we know […]
Fairy tales need to be read
Scary fairy tale by NRichey on DeviantArt My dear Lucy, I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older […]
Courage shows when a virtue is tested
Thought for the Day – September 17th by ebturner on DeviantArt C.S. Lewis commented, “Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at its testing point.” We so often describe courage in either extreme ways or nonsensical ways that it is difficult to understand something of what courage is.

The devil, this election, and opposites
He (the devil) always sends errors into the world in pairs–pairs of opposites…He relies on your extra dislike of one to draw you gradually into the opposite one. But do not let us be fooled. We have to keep our eyes on the goal and go straight through between both errors. We have no other […]

Portraying hell is easy; heaven is impossible
the gates of hell by theRusso on DeviantArt Yesterday, I was on an art website, a quite legitimate one, and it’s a sad commentary on the current state of our society that I have to aver that it is a legitimate art website. But, that is not my point. I did a search on the […]
A Disney Aslan nightmare
Disney Narnia by M-Mannering on DeviantArt And … this is why we should never allow Disney to buy the rights to produce the Chronicles of Narnia. Could you imagine a Disney Narnia?
