"Don't you mind him," said Puddleglum. "There are no accidents. Our guide is Aslan."

As I look toward the future of our country under the leadership of our new President elect, my heart is resting in the solid truth that Jesus Christ, the Lion of Judah and the Lamb of God, is my true Leader and King. I belong to His holy city, whose maker and builder is God, my Father. And, as Puddleglum the Marshwiggle so wisely put it, there are no accidents. All things have a purpose. Our guide is Christ. Amen.

First... I love the link to Baldwin/Castle '08 !! :-)
[SPOILER ALERT] Warning! The below includes the last paragraph of the last book of The Chronicles of Narnia. If you haven't already, go read the series real quick and then come back and read this.
We were just listening to The Last Battle today on the way home from church today. It ends with a reminder of where we really belong.
And as He spoke He no longer looked to them like a lion; but the things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write them. And for us this is the end of all the stories, and we can most truly say that they all lived happily ever after. But for them it was only the beginning of the real story. All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.
So well said! Great post Ashley! :)
