Reading everything CS Lewis has written is one thing, correctly understanding it in order to faithfully communicate it is another thing. Iām not a legalistic purist in regards to adapting book to film. However, one must not Rorschach source material, nor be anachronistic.
Dodgeball.
One of the things I miss most about school days. Nothing like taking someoneās feet out from under them. āIf you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball.ā

Protestant & Catholic thought both teach that the Gospel sifts cultures, bringing them to their most God glorifying end, & they bring the beautiful diversity of their cultural offerings to the feet of Jesus. Polynesian, Persian, Polish, Ethiopian, English, Eskimo, etc.
Precisely.
Christianity is concrete in the foundation of Europe. Secularism, Modernism, Relativism, Atheism, all in their own way, have eroded Europe.
A return to vibrant Christian faith is the only hope for any culture to flourish in true life, liberty, virtue, & love.
Europe as we know it, with its spiritual and moral heritage, is rooted in the lives and work of men and women who lived, preached, and shared the teachings of the Gospel. From this heritage, the moral foundations of the world in which we live have been handed down to us: principles such as the primacy of the person and the sacred and inviolable nature of human life; the protection of freedom; the primary importance of the family; care for the poor and those most in need; welcoming the stranger; and respect for the elderly. #ApostolicJourney #France
If subverted, using worldviews of 21st century, The Chronicles of Narnia ceases to be The Chronicles of Narnia. Iām a huge Narnia fan, not legalistic regarding adaptations. Nevertheless, setting the story decades ahead of what was written, & Aslanās voice as female, red flags.
Alabama made excellent halftime adjustments.
Texas with a win for the ages, the last quarter was š„
OkSt with a gutsy leave it all on the field win.
It seems @netflix has announced a remake of Lonesome Dove.
I say leave it as it is, just promote & re-release it ā¦ the original miniseries is perfection.
Both people who love and hate Western Civilization often study the same Revolutions, they just come to differing opinions about each one.

The worldviews behind each one matter.
First 2 weeks of homeschool have been great. Ancient History, Epic of Gilgamesh, Code of Hammurabi, Till We Have Faces, Spanish, etc.
I understand that Soccer is the worldās most popular sport, and likely has the most conditioned athletes. NEVERTHELESS, American Football has the worldās best athletes and is the most complex team sport. Itās chess with audibles at every single moment of every play.

George Carlin had an ingenious way of addressing political issues while being apolitical.
Of setting up a joke to make you think your opponent was the punchline & then helping you see what might be offensive in yourself. He forced us to think.
We could use George right now.
Natural Law from the Roman Catholic tradition was a significant influence in the minds of Americaās founders and helped shape our young country.
Typically, we think of our roots as only Protestant, but thatās not the whole story.
