This doesn’t look good. It appears that the film version of Narnia: The Voyage of Dawn Treader may be deviating significantly from Lewis’ vision.

In a recent interview posted on NarniaWeb.com, Douglas Gresham, stepson to C.S. Lewis and the man who’s supposed to be holding the line on what his stepfather would have wanted, said he was “ambivalent” on changes made in “Voyage.” But, he was presented with a choice of either accepting those changes or not having a film.

A new study shows that children who were spanked are more likely to grow up happy and successful. Perhaps parental instinct and biblical command aren’t so bad after all.

According to the research, children spanked up to the age of 6 were likely as teenagers to perform better at school and were more likely to carry out volunteer work and to want to go to college than their peers who had never been physically disciplined.

The Baptist Messenger points out ten young Southern Baptist preachers to watch in 2010. I’m encouraged by the ministry of many of these guys.
