Shadowlands

I wanted to get this post up before the weekend, because the weekend is a great time for going to church... and going to plays. If you've been looking for a nice pre-Christmas activity for the family or for you and your beloved other I've got a recommendation for you. My recommendation is Shadowlands. It is currently playing at the Guthrie. I went to it on Wednesday and had a great time laughing, crying, and thinking. If you follow the link to the Guthrie's site you can watch a clip from the play where C.S. Lewis' character develops an intriguing slogan for the birth of Christ and some thoughts on Christmas.

The story follows C.S. Lewis as he falls in love with his wife and far too quickly loses her to cancer.

Also, for people people preaching on Christmas: Sermon Brainwave has a special Christmas update, check it out at WorkingPreacher.org.
