Hi ,

I was thinking today about why C.S. Lewis chose a wardrobe as the door to Narnia.

He could have used a magical cave, a hidden map, or a mysterious portal in the woods. But he chose a piece of ordinary, household furniture. Something that smells like mothballs and holds old coats.

There’s a lesson there for us as parents.

Lewis believed that the "extraordinary" is often hidden right in the middle of our "ordinary" lives. We don't have to take our kids on a pilgrimage to find God; we often find Him in the mundane moments—at the dinner table, in the car on the way to practice, or while reading a story before bed.

As we approach the season of Lent (starting February 18th), I want to help you turn those "ordinary" reading moments into something extraordinary.

I’m putting the finishing touches on a guided experience that will help your family see the Gospel hidden in the "ordinary" pages of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

I’m not quite ready to open the doors yet, but I wanted to make sure you had the date marked on your calendar.

Wednesday, February 18th. We’re going to walk through the wardrobe together. I’ll have a lot more details for you in a few days.

In the meantime, keep an eye out for any "ordinary" moments today that might be hiding something bigger.

Blessings,

Craig
