When Did They Grow Up?

First nephew is joining the navy. I'm not quite sure of the process, but he's done whatever needs to be done, got the call to enlist, and starts basic training next month.

First niece has been accepted into the Social Work program at Lakehead University.

I'm pretty sure this means they're growing up. I'm not sure how that happened.

I miss my babies.

I might be feeling a bit sentimental today.

Guest Post!

As we all know, I'm not posting enough, so I've brought in a guest blogger. She wants to remain anonymous, so she's writing under the name Gertrude Millicent Wigglesworth.

This month she brings you part one of a book review:

The Silver Chair is probably the most unusual book in the series of Narnia. It involves none of the four characters usually associated with Narnia: Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. Instead, the story involves their cousin Eustace Clarence Scrubb (a name as awful as mine!) who has already been to Narnia once before. He is joined by a girl named Jill, a fellow schoolmate who as never been to Narnia.

They are both taken off to Narnia in a most unusual way. And once there they are almost immediately separated. With no idea where Eustace is, Jill is given a quest by Aslan to find Prince Rilian. Jill is also given four signs to help her on her way. Aslan then helps her reunite with Eustace. And they miss the first sign, which would have guaranteed them an easier journey. The next sign tells them to find the ruined city of giants. To set out on this leg of their journey they are joined by Puddleglum the Marsh-wiggle. On their way to the city they get sidetracked, and almost end up being served or dinner by giants! They manage to escape and find the ruined city.

Expect more from Miss Wigglesworth next month!

Right Now

Right now I'm reading:

Lies Women Believe by Nancy Leigh DeMoss
Growing Your Faith by Jerry Bridges
Radical by David Platt
When Helping Hurts by Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert

They're all for school and the class at church. My favourites are the second and fourth.

Actually, right now I'm watching Doctor Who and not doing homework (but it's Sunday so I don't have to do homework). When I'm doing homework, I watch Sherlock (it takes less focus).

And specifically, I'm trying to like the 11th doctor. I'm up to the fifth episode, and I no longer actively disliking him (actually, that happened a couple episodes ago). I'm just now starting to like him. I still miss David Tennant.
