how unfortunate
Caught the sniffles again - just when i thought i had fully recovered.Poo..
Hence,
Wed, July 20th : 5km, pologround (energy crisis!)
Might also be due to my forgetting to eat a proper lunch today.
Completed Chronicles of Narnia yesterday. The last book, The Last Battle, was simply superb! Its the best of them all! Its amazing how CS Lewis brings out Christian Truths so well in Narnia. Felt like glimpses of heaven in every description of Aslan's Country in the end.
Parts from the Chronicles i like the best:
The Horse and His Boy (Book 3)
"Dearest daughter," said Aslan, planting a lion's kiss on her twitching, velvet nose, "I knew you would not be long in coming to me. Joy shall be yours."
Voyage of the Dawn Treader (Book 5)
Three times Eustace tries to peel off the dragon skin on his own, only to find that beneath each layer is another of the same. Then the lion [Aslan] said . . . You will have to let me undress you. I was afraid of his claws, I can tell you, but I was pretty nearly desperate now. So I just lay flat on my back to let him do it. The very first tear he made was so deep that I thought it had gone right into my heart. And when he began pulling the skin off, it hurt worse than anything I've ever felt.
*Isn't faith always accompanied by pain?*
The Last Battle (Book 7)
"Child, all the service thou hast done to Tash, I account as service done to me . . . . Not because he and I are one, but because we are opposites, I take to me the service which thou hast done to him, for I and he are of such different kinds that no service which is vile can be done to me, and none which is not vile can be done to him . . . unless thy desire had been for me thou wouldst not have sought so long and so truly. For all find what they truly seek." ¶ 5:12 AM
