Allegories Anyone?


I'm feeling in a Chronicles of Narnia mood this morning. Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE that series of novels...and the subsequent movies??
I have?? About 35 times? Oh, okay then.


"Safe?" said Mr. Beaver; "don't you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you." --Mr. Beaver to the Pevensie Children - The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight.
At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more.
When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death.
And when he shakes his mane, it will be spring again.
(LWW)

˜You come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve" said Aslan.
"And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor in earth."

"Every day you grow you will find Me bigger" - Aslan to Lucy in Prince Caspian

All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.
The final words of The Chronicles of Narnia.

Off subject but I've been gone for awhile so sorry...

The toilet problem? Two things:

1. Odo-Ban (from Sam's Club) buy the big jug, it's wonderful!

2. Steam mop - don't know how I lived without one - okay, actually, I do know...a little less clean and VERY frustrated :]

Ugh, this makes me want to write a little diddy-blog about some more of my personal household cleaning secrets. They're real and they're fantastic.

Wow...I love the last quote. That really puts EVERYTHING into perspective, doesn't it?! I sometimes have a tendency to dwell on the small things in life, which when put in that time frame, won't even be a footnote in my story!! Thanks, Tammi!
