God I haven't posted here in a bit, anyway I recently rewatched two old favorite childhood movies "A Little Princess" 1995 and "The Secret Garden" 1993, and they were both better than I remembered, especially the aethetisism of both

A note in my copy of Narnia I got from a free books stand

"To my fellow Narnian,

'Aslan,' said Lucy, 'you're bigger.'

'That is because you are older little one.' Answered he. 'Not because you are?'

'I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger.'

~Prince Caspian, Chapter Ten

May you find Him bigger, Steve.

I'm usually shut up in my house so whenever I'm out I have a tendency to treat it as if it were an adventure

"Do me a favor. Do yourselves a favor. Stop talking, and look. You're not required to write a paper. You're not even required to like it. You are required to consider it."

-Mona Lisa Smile, 2003
