Goal 020: Spend a week at Flathead Lutheran Bible Camp.

Spent July 22-27 at FLBC and had a blast!

Goal 078: Help out at VBS at one of Jon's churches.

I was the Powerpoint princess this past week doing "Spotlight Drama" with the kids.  Go me.

Goal 094: Buy a car.

Did this at the end of April.  Got the Bonneville for $900.

Goal 063: Watch The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

I just watched it and OMG it was awesome.  Everything was good: the casting, the way they took care of the scenes, the voices of the animals, the way they did Aslan's sacrifice (very tastefully done!)...

Some highlights:

-the beaver house
-the White Witch's sleigh and castle
-Mrs. Macready
-the battle
-the sacrifice (REALLY meaningful if you understood the allegorical symbolism -- I'm amazed I didn't cry)
-the coronation
-Aslan on the beach and then disappearing

I'd been avoiding it because the cartoon scared me when I was 6 years old; and while I've read the books and all that, I knew that the sacrifice scene would probably reduce me to tears.  I'm either really jaded or really medicated because that scene didn't make me cry though it was an OMG scene because it was so well-done.
