Any CS Lewis fans out there? My in-laws are sort of obsessive when it comes to the Chronicles of Narnia, and low and behold, when I signed on to Facebook this morning I discovered a movie trailer for "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" - which is my second favorite of Lewis' Narnia series.

The first two movies were produced by Disney, but the third one "jumped ship" (That's a pun - The Dawn Treader is a boat) to Fox Searchlight. It focuses in on the younger two Pevinse children, and their obnoxious cousin. Are you a fan of the series? Here's the link to the preview:

ARTIST OF THE DAY: Building 429

Jason Roy fronts B429 along with his friends Michael Anders and Jesse Garcia (and an every changing line-up outside of those three). The name comes from Ephesians 4:29. I'd list it for you, but I'd rather you look it up in your Bible. Go ahead. I'll wait.

It's all about what comes out of your mouth, the struggle to be an encourager. The Bible talks at lengths about how the tongue is the most dangerous part of the human body. Especially for college guys - which is when the band formed.

Building 429 won new artist of the year at the 2005 Dove Awards - but having toured as an independent act for years before receiving critical and radio reviews, they were a little bothered at being considered "new."
