The Diary of Queen Susan

Here are a few more comics I made for you...hope they give you a couple laughs. Or a least a groan... ;}

I'm sorry the first one is blurry...I had to zoom and crop a lot to cut all the other people and excess scenery out.

For fans of the Madagascar penguins.

Stereotypical male.

You can only pick on something you love...

My personal favorite of this lot...

Enjoy!

Hope they are a blessing:

As most of you probably know by now from reading about it HERE, I've seen "The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader". This is really big for me. We have a large family, and almost NEVER go to the theater because of the ~~ridiculous~~ outrageous cost of tickets. But, wonderful Pa that I have, offered to take me and my sisters to the OPENING NIGHT! This was a generous offer enough, but we said no, based on the crowds, and the late night. Plus, if we went opening night, my younger brothers would not be able to go; and, well, they were looking forward to the release just as much, if not more, than anyone else. So, we settled for the matinée the following afternoon.

Our theater was all decked out, and the dusting of snow we had that morning, rounded out the effect.

I'm not going to spoil it for anyone who has yet to see it, so I'll just say that I thought it was very well done, in spite of changing of hands.

Enjoy!
In the name of the Aslan of this World, until next time,

Aren't they great?

Salvation pictured in Narnia...and not so obvious...

2010-11-07T19:21:00.000-08:00

The other day I was thinking about The Silver Chair.

After some contemplation, I began to think about Jill Pole's first meeting with Aslan. have you ever thought how this is a picture of salvation?

yes. Edmund and Eustace are more obvious, but Jill has one too! Think of it...

She's done things wrong. Life is hateful, a friend, who has already had this conversion, reaches out to her and leads her to the source of salvation. But she does not yet fully believe.

Only after she is confronted with her sin, by Aslan in Aslan's country, does she truly see that she has done wrong.

Attention:

Aslan offers her water for her thirst
listen to this part of their conversation:

"Are you not thirsty?" said the Lion. {note that lion is capitalized}

"I'm dying of thirst," said Jill.

"Then drink," said the Lion.

Jill is then required to take decisive action- stepping out on faith and desperation alone. She, of course, chooses to drink. Please notice how the water is described:

It was the worst thing she had to do, but she went forward to the stream, knelt down, and began scooping up water in her hand. It was the coldest, most refreshing water she had ever tasted. You didn't need to drink much of it, for it quenched your thirst at once.

Once she realizes she was wrong in the things that she had done, and comes to faith in the Lion, Jill is given a task, which becomes the base of the book. Jill has been forgiven, and later makes right with Eustace, the one she had wronged.
I love this line near the end of the book.

"I have come," said a deep voice behind them. They turned and saw the Lion Himself, so bright and real and strong that everything else began at one to look pale and shadowy compared with him. And...Jill...remembered only how she had made Eustace fall over the cliff, and how she had helped to muff nearly all the signs, and about all the snappings and quarrelings. And she wanted to say "I'm sorry" but she could not speak. Then the Lion drew them toward him with his eyes, and bent down and touched their pale faces with his tongue, and said: "Think of that no more. I will not always be scolding."

Again, we see the beautiful description of Aslan as our great Saviour, Jesus Christ!

Who's Who in Narnia?

2010-04-28T17:37:00.000-07:00

Many people, believe that we Christians make too much "Jesus and Bible stuff" out of Narnia. Liam Neeson (the voice of the mighty Aslan) was asked by a reporter if he though that Aslan was a good representation of God. He replied with something to this extent (NOTE: THIS IS NOT A DIRECT QUOTE!), "If there is a God, I sure would like Him to be like Aslan."

The word "Gospel" means good news...and boy do I have some! I just wish I could go to Mr. Neeson and say "But He IS like Aslan!"
And He really is!

God is Kind, King, Master, Maker, Keeper, Creator, Merciful, Mighty, Lord, Loving, Wise, Whispering, Rescuing, Restoring, Peaceful, Precious!

To see what he really is... watch this video!

2010-04-22T14:53:00.000-07:00

I thought it would be fun to see where all my followers found me... please vote on my sidebar!

After all, you never know... My mom made a friend through a Google search!

Why Does Aslan Represent God?

2010-04-14T19:38:00.000-07:00

Aslan is wise. Here are some quotes of Aslan's that proves his wisdom:

"All get what they want. They do not always like it."
-The Magician's Nephew

"You see, they will not let us help them. They have chosen cunning instead of belief. Their prison is only in their own minds, yet they are in that prison; and so afraid of being taken in that they cannot be taken out."
-The Last Battle

God is the Omniscient One- All Knowing One and is therefore wise.

Aslan is loving, gentle, and merciful.

Even after Uncle Andrew in The Magician's Nephew had messed up so much in Narnia and in his own world by messing with magic, Aslan still gave him the only thing he was still able to receive-sleep.

God is our El- Shaddai- the ever all knowing nourishing One.

Aslan is powerful and mighty.

A lion is king of the jungle. They dominate the food chain. Their muscles alone are amazing.

God is Omnipotent (all powerful), and his name El means Strong one.And Abir meaning "to be strong."

Aslan is the Created the world of Narnia. And sang it to life.

God created the whole world and filled it with his song of love and breath of life.

Aslan gave his life for a traitor to fulfill prophecy, and gave his all for one he loved- Edmund.

God gave his lift for traitors to fullfill prophecy, and gave his all for the ones he loved-YOU and ME.

Aslan rose again to conquer the evil witch!

God rose again to conquer death-His and ours!!!!

Hallelujah! HE IS RISEN!!!!

Here are a few more edited pictures. Feel free to use any of them as long as when used publicly, you: 1) notify me, and 2) link the pictures back to this blog. Thank you!

This picture is to capture and remeber C.S.Lewis's rarely remembered subtitle of Prince Caspian:

Here are some separates of the Pevensies:

Peter

Susan

Edmund

And Lucy

And here are the four ancient sovereigns:

And lastly, a picture that took me many tries to get so that the banner isn't in either Peter or Edmund's faces:

I see here that poor Edmund's face has been cut off by my small writing space. But, if you click on the picture, it will open into it's own window and you can see the whole thing... no offence, Ed.;)

On this site, I took the quiz to see who I was most like. This is the most accurate I've found yet. It is a bit long (55 questions) but well worth it!

Hope this makes you laugh!

What do they think?

2009-09-11T10:32:00.000-07:00

I've thought about this... do the actors of Narnia really get what they are representing? I like the way Lucie Manette put it in this post: Read it here!

In comment to her post, did they realize that all reigning equally under Aslan pictures when we will all rule equally under Christ in the Millennial reign? Also, we as children of God are royalty-after all He is the King of kings and LORD of lords!

Furthermore, did they realize that each of them represent a different kind of Christian Life?

Peter The Magnificent represents the victorious christian.

Susan the Gentle represents the sometimes doubtful, always"safe" one who falls away in time of trouble or doubt.

Edmund the Just represents the one who was forgiven much and so loves much, and is always after faithful.

Lucy the Valiant represents (As Lucie pointed out) the ever faithful one with childlike faith, the faith we all are to have and so many times fail so utterly.

Lastly, did the director, Andrew Adamson, realize all he was telling them to do? He so vibrantly captures so much and yet is CLUELESS!

Sad, but true...
