SPOILERS!

(If the date of this post changed, it is because I had to correct a spelling mistake...)

As I mentioned in my last entry, this entry will contain what my Sunday School co-students call SPOILERS... when I said some stuff about The Matrix Reloaded, LOL who hasn't seen that movie BY NOW... but the newest Narnia movie Prince Caspian is still pretty new... so I would grant them the use of SPOILERS here :P I will also be using some quotes from the movie "Hitch" as well...

Movies sometimes brings to mind my mom's saying about how "movies are life, life are movies..."; it's basically like her own version of Shakespeare's "All the worlds a stage, all the men and women merely players". I'm not going to open that can of worms about how we might put on facades and stuff at times, save that for another entry(ies). But I will say that often movies and other forms of acting or fiction can at times parallel events in real life and also vice versa... Afterall it is written by human authors not that I am suggesting the bible is also a form of fiction, NOT AT ALL... But some people based on it's content may see it that way, but you do understand the implications that ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN in life...

As someone I wish I could still say I knew put it, life is a journey and as I heard a best man quote ST Voyager as well "maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey... to the journey..."

So here I insert the quotes to set the mood for the battle(s) in my life I must endure for God and His kingdom... If I thought the ones I had to go through in the past were hard, I believe it's only the beginning. The real battles have yet to be fought, it is time to step up to the plate and fight the epic battles Christ needs me to do for Him... not always going to be physical, but never ceasing to be spiritual...Here are the quotes from The Chronicles of Narnia, Prince Caspian...

(I will name each scene with a commentary-type title)

Scene 1 Caspian realizes his calling, receives vision and "steps up" to lead the Narnians (perhaps Acts 9:19-31 is probably one passage I can think of that sorta parallels):

Prince Caspian: Two days ago, I didn't believe in the existence of talking animals... of dwarves or... or centaurs. Yet here you are, in strengths and numbers that we Telmarines could never have imagined. Whether this horn
[raises horn for all to see]
Prince Caspian (continues): is magic or not, it brought us together... and together, we have a chance to take back what is ours!

Scene 2 Failure and difficulties can cause tension, stumbling and for us turn against our own "family" (2 Corinthians 2:10-11):

Lucy Pevensie: What happened?
Peter Pevensie: Ask him.
Susan Pevensie: Peter!
Prince Caspian: Me? You could have called it off, there was still time.
Peter Pevensie: No there wasn't thanks to you. If you had kept to the plan those soldiers might be alive right now.
Prince Caspian: And if you just had stayed here as I suggested they definitely would be!
Peter Pevensie: You called us, remember?
Prince Caspian: My first mistake.
Peter Pevensie: No. Your first mistake was thinking you could lead these people
Peter Pevensie: [turns around and begins to walk off]
Prince Caspian: Hey!
Peter Pevensie: [Peter turns to look at him]
Prince Caspian: I am not the one who abandoned Narnia.
Peter Pevensie: You invaded Narnia. You have no more right leading than Miraz does.
[Caspian pushes past Peter]
Peter Pevensie: You, him, your father! Narnia's better off without the lot of you!
[Caspian and Peter draw swords intending to attack each other]

Scene 3: (LOL I don't know what to call this scene...but it was part of the quotes in imdb.com and I figure it's a good scene because it relates to my original post...) Umm maybe God works through other people not for prophesy, but for encouragement... (Proverbs 27:17)

Prince Caspian: [gives Susan her horn back] Maybe it's time you had this back.
Susan Pevensie: [gives the horn back] Why don't you hold on to it - you might need to call me again.
[a pause while Susan and Caspian exchange a long glance]
Lucy Pevensie: [quoting Susan as they ride off] "You might need to call me again"?
Susan Pevensie: Oh, shut up.

STAY TUNED TO ME BLOG FOR THE "The Last Battle" and my final commissioning entry for me to "STEP UP" for God and hopefully it encourages you to "go and do likewise..." :)
