Chronicles of Narnia

I don't know when the last time I read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was, but it must have been before I really had an understanding of the Christian faith, because I don't remember the metaphor being so clear. I read it the other day, and I actually feel like I have a better understanding of what Jesus did for me. Satan has said to Him, because of the rules YOU yourself have put in place, I claim this woman's blood; because of her crimes, she belongs to me. And Jesus has stepped forward, and volunteered His blood in place, He said, "I'll do it. I'll accept her punishment. Take me in her place." I know all this of course, but reading the story made it just a little bit more real.

PS For the Antalya short-termers, if anyone is reading this (are any of ya'll reading this?):
Mon night I took Turkan to Fezih's restaurant (sorry I don't know how to spell his name) but he wasn't there :( But they sure were playing that same wretched CD . . .
