The Last Battle
The Last Battle by C.S. LewisMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I used to dislike this book when I was younger. The Calormenes are such bullies. The help never comes to the king. The monkey hoodwinks the ignorant populace. It all seems so futile, and then Narnia ends! The beloved land I searched for in the back of my closet all those years was gone, and now I'd never get there!
I hope that now I see Narnia for what it really is, a mirror of the real story. I trust Aslan when he says I need to know Him in this world too. I still search for Narnia, just not in the back of the closet anymore. And I will get the fairy tale ending I always wanted.

Couch Time
I mentioned "couch time" in relationship to my summer goals on my Twitter feed (@stewardess), and Mary (@ILoveMyBirdTim) asked for more info.
There isn't much to say. In fact, I didn't even invent the idea, nor do I really know much about it. Like most things I know about I learned (read: stole) from someone else. I think Krista mentioned having couch time with her husband at a CCGNO event and I just ran with what I figured it meant.
Our couch time consists of 30 mins. to an hour spent together doing nothing. We have no distractions (computer, phone, TV) and just focus on each other. The first week we talked. The second week we solved a problem together. This'll be our third week in a row! Traditions have to start somewhere, right?
(For more info see Krista. She and her husband won "best couple" for their commitment to things like couch time. Impressive!)
Edit: Awesome article from the Love & Respect Facebook page about "face-to-face" and "shoulder-to-shoulder" time.
