As you may have seen coming from my previous posts, today was a breakdown day. Not long after I woke up, I started thinking of all the things I needed to do today, and I was only able to talk myself out of crying for so long. Thankfully, my dear husband was home, so he was able to hug me and knew I was going to cry before it started.
After a run and getting most of the errands done, I was able to lighten up a bit and get a little homework done. I finished The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and skimmed through The Horse and His Boy. It makes me happy when the story obviously mirrors biblical actions and themes. I love it when people are anointed with the Holy Spirit, and I really liked Narnia's Pentecost in The Magician's Nephew.
I also love Lewis's writing style, especially when he talks to the readers. You see a side of him that I would call silly, even though you don't often read about that aspect of his personality in biographies or letters. The only glimpses of that you get are in a few letters or remembrances by students of his who write of him good-naturedly making fun of other professors and acting more like the students than an authority figure. If you only ever read his theological writings and most biographies, you would have to read between the lines to figure out that he had quite the sense of humor.
So tomorrow I shall press on with Prince Caspian get through the rest of the books. Once I have all my data, it shouldn't be a difficult paper to write.
