Because everyone loves a good story
Who Were the Inklings?
Happy 8th birthday to Past Watchful Dragons! It was February 28, 2018, when I first posted in this space about my love of reading and writing. It’s been a long and wonderful journey, and there’s plenty more to come. For those of you who…
When Aslan Rights the World
If your heart ever breaks for the brokenness in the world, take heart–the King is coming.

C.S. Lewis: The Death of Words
Do you ever mourn the loss of English as it once was? Words like “basic” and “extra” do this for me.

Out of the Silent Planet
When it comes to C.S. Lewis, I’ve tried to read pretty much everything he’s written. (No, I haven’t read his academic treatises or all of his letters…yet.) So when I picked up his science fiction trilogy for the first time several years ago, I…
