I feel like being away from people. Partially because of work, it is also because the tireness. But I still went to see the first movie of Narnia with friends. I am really familiar with the story of Narnia. I had a whole chinese set fifteen years ago. I read them from time to time. Every time I read, I discovered some new understanding. The movie is not too far away from the book, with amazing computer effects.
I felt better after watching the movie. While walking along home, I had time to think several things.
＊ Edmund went to Narnia, followed by Lucy, but denied Lucy is right. Human's pride often lets us step away from acknowledging we are wrong.
＊ Fox (I don't remember there is such character in the book) looks like more on the evil side. But it is faithful to Aslan. What shows outside is not exactly who we are.
＊ Susan received a horn as a gift, which brings help when blow. In the Prince Caspian, the help is coming after blowing horn but not arriving right away. Just like Daniel prayed, God did listened but the help arrived after days. Therefore, our prayer reach to God in heaven but we have to be patient sometimes.
＊ Edmund's desire almost got himself killed.
＊ Aslan said to Peter, Susan and Lucy let the past be past. This is forgiveness and forget, just like God forgive and forget our transgressions.
＊ In the book, Lucy didn't watch Edmund get fully healed (opposite to the movie). Aslan said to her, "must more sacrificed for Edmund?" I think God asks us to do what we shall do and believe God will take care what we care for.
＊ "Once King or Queen of Narnia, forever King and Queen of Narnia." This is the same as children of God.
I will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out in freedom,’
and to those in darkness, ‘Come into the light.’
They will be my sheep, grazing in green pastures
and on hills that were previously bare.
They will neither hunger nor thirst.
The searing sun will not reach them anymore.
For the LORD in his mercy will lead them;
he will lead them beside cool waters.
~ Isaiah 49:9-10 (NLT)

0093. Choir
For a long time, I didn't join any choir. After Christmas celebration, I thought it would be nice to have few people practice together. I love acapella and it would be wonderful to do it well. I don't get people to sing acapella but there are small choir starting practice at church. Even though it is not exactly what I am thinking but at least I get to sing new songs. I surprise myself too. I can sing to the high A.

0092. Breakfast
There is a breakfast bar near by where I currently live, which sells a pretty good tuna-egg sandwich. It has quite a bit of tuna with some veggies. It only cost about one dollar CDN, including a drink. It's quite enough for one meal.
NB. It's very common to see those breakfast bar in Taiwan. They sells all kinds of sandwiches and some burgers. Sandwiches is made of two pieces of bread (may be toasted), veggies, egg, and your choice of main filling (Ham, cheeze, etc).

0091. New Year
On the way home after church meeting, people were everywhere from Taipei Main Station to home. I never understand what is the point of celebrating New Year and why everyone is so over-excited. One of my colleagues walked home at three in the morning because she couldn't get a taxi at all. I probably will only be excited about Jesus in my entire life.
