Am I really still a Christian?

OK, so reasons why I am still a Christian:
I went to see it.
I am blogging about it (which is the latest WWJD style Christian accessory)
I have read the books

But:
I didn't go with my church group
I didn't take a non Christian friend
I didn't preach the Gospel at the end
And I didn't cry when Aslan died!

Of course I'm talking about Narnia. I liked it.. but I wasn't profoundly moved by it. With all the hype I'm aware that this might be a sign that I have in fact backslidden, grieved the holy spirit or something..

Someone help!

In the name of Aslan, be healed.

There - now either you're healed or I've backslidden too!

Oh dear - I'm going with my cell group tonight. Does that make me tragic?!?!

I didn't cry when Aslan died, because I knew he would come back to life again.

I think you can rest assured that you are a Christian, you still believe in everything that is Jesus, right?

Oooh, that's a quote from the Silver Chair (sort of?) Rach!
Jude, I'm intrigued- do you generally cry in films that have sad bits or not and this is a one off, not crying, or is it a rare occurence for you to cry? (trying to ascertain if I will embarass myself in front of friends when going to see Narnia!)
BTW, I agree with Karen!

Kezzie.. yep I cry at most things! TRailers to other movies, football on the radio, George Best's funeral..... so this was a bit of a shocker!

hi jude (and everyone else)! I didn't cry, and I, too, was shocked by my lack of reaction and underwhelmed by the film. When i read the books i cry every time Aslan is so much as mentioned in passing. I'm glad Aslan reigns more powerfully in my own heart and mind than he does in CGI! But Liam Neeson's voice was spot on, don't you think?

Who will rid me of this meddlesome...

... piano? It occurred to me yesterday as i nursed ANOTHER bruise on my arm.. that I have had a piano sat in my hallway for 2 months! It seemed like such a good idea at the time but apparently is not... its stuck there and everytime I walk down my hall I have to squeeze past the darn thing- often not successfully! A number of options lie before me: -chop the thing into several hundred pieces -find lots of people who want to move it.. to where I'm not sure -sell it -give it away -pray it away It goes next weekend.. even if it kills me... which it might.. hummm

Remembering What I Enjoy..

Occasionally I forget things. Some stuff like birthdays, names and stuff is a normal human thing, and I don't sweat it so much. But I also forget some other stuff which is not so good. I forget what I enjoy. I don't know how it happens but it does from time to time. And its at these moments that I need a bit of help remembering. So- this is a request for help. What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

A Broadside: *plot spoiler* for Tory sympathisers

Today some alarming social equality data was released. It said what we all know: if you are poor, you have less opportunities in life. For every £100 a month less income than the median you start school one month behind developmentally. Your vocabulary aged 5 is half what it is for a rich kid if you are in the bottom ten percent of income. Housing tenure stats are even worse. "Only 4 per cent of those of working age living in social housing have degrees, and nearly half have no or only low qualifications. Only half of men and 42 per cent of women of working age living in social housing are in paid work, compared with 89 per cent of men and 81 per cent of women in households with a mortgage." Social housing: by its nature, is grouped (london people ignore this, you are the freaks not the norm). That means that we have allowed ghettoes of poverty and low attainment (not just in a SATS way either). Now it would be easy, and some daft Tory has already done it, to pin this on
