The Derailing Thread

[TOG]

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve...but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

I chose to serve the Lord over 40 years ago, and have been serving Him since. But unlike many Christians, I don't think God is a killjoy.

“Big Brother” is not a mod. However, Big Brother is always watching and he never takes a break.“Mary Poppins” is yet another New Age production from Disney, created by P. L. Travers.

In the book, A Lively Oracle: A Centennial Celebration of P. L. Travers, Creator of Mary Poppins, Travers said she didn’t create Mary Poppins, but discovered her.

W. B. Yeats translated the Upanishads, which was to have a profound influence on Travers, as did Hindu mythology and Buddhism, the lore of the Navajo Indians, and Jungian psychology. Travers wrote numerous poems and articles for well-known journals (later in life, she wrote mainly Jungian articles for Parabola magazine) as well as books, among which are seven Mary Poppins stories produced between 1934 and 1988.

“Mary Poppins” is a metaphor for new age transformation, e. g. the symbolism of the east wind, discerning the nature of free will, exploring moon magic at the zoo, discovering the magic of the sun, and finding one’s shadow on Hallowe’en -- decidedly un-Christian values.

By 'discovering herself', Ms Travers was talking about her relationship with her father and how that relationship impacted her life. The recent movie "Saving Mr Banks" (with Tom Hanks & Emma Thompson) explained more of the situation.

I'm reading the Chronicles of Narnia.
Did anyone read the books and see the movie?
Are they the same?

I've seen two movies and read all the books. The movies seemed pretty close to me.

First one follows pretty close to the book, I think. The others take more liberties with the plot, though they don't change them too drastically. But it has been a while since I saw or read either.

The BBC movies weren't bad, either. One of them followed the book like 95%.

I used to do that, too! My kids did as well....until we got Boggle. They loved playing Boggle (and they weren't tempted to eat any of the letters, either)!

People can not read road signs.Either that or they choose to ignore them. How in the world do they get a drivers license?

 

[AirDancer]

Some people cannot read. Some people cannot read the signs in the language of posting. Some people believe those signs are directed at others.

Some people just shouldn't be allowed behind the steering wheel at all.
