Rejoice!


Image result for Christmas pictures public domainHi guys, Page Turner here!
Wow! It's been a long time since my last blog post! My classes have been really time-consuming this year, and it's gotten away from me. Needless to say, my blog isn't the only thing that I've neglected...
  I am so excited about Christmas! I LOVE CHRISTMAS SO MUCH! That's right, Page Turner's favorite holiday is Christmas and it is fast approaching. I have a lot of great memories tied up in Christmas, from decorating the tree, watching Hallmark movies, playing in the snow with my siblings, or wrapping presents. My favorite part about Christmas is the memories, being together, and the joy.
Christmas is about Jesus being born! That is so amazing! I can't even fully comprehend it, but it makes me so happy! Our God came down as a baby to save us from our sins. My Savior was born and we get to celebrate it with friends and family. That is reason to rejoice!
But Christmas can be really hard sometimes, when you miss loved ones, or anxiety sets in. What I love about Christmas is that we are celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Even in times of sadness or the temptation to worry, I can lean on my Comforter and know that He is trustworthy.
  I love Christmas, and in a few days, I'm going to start the 12 days of Christmas Countdown. Thanks for sticking with me, and I'm glad to be back. I'm ready to break out my Christmas spirit, because no matter what happens, traditions or not, Jesus was born...and He is alive, our Savior.
            Now that's reason to rejoice!

An Ode to My iPod: Part 2

iPod, you were in your plastic baggy I stared at you as I cleaned the kitchen How broken you were! The rice could not fix you, it seemed A friend suggested I get a new one Replace you, dear iPod? I had no other choice! You've been with me through a lot, dear iPod Through my first couple basketball games Through that terrible thunderstorm I listened to you during my sad times I played you when I was happy Your music reminded me of good memories Why, wonderful iPod, why did I let you get wet? It was such an innocent thunderstorm I held you as I listened to your song But was it for the last time? I listened to you as we drove long miles Your ability to store music astounds me So many memories are in those songs! My little iPod, you played as we grouted the porch You were beside me in the late nights when I couldn't sleep You lie on my pillow, supplying me with audio as I draw Dear little iPod, your music kept me running I guess I shall have to say good-bye,...

The Great Gatsby Book Review

Hi, Page Turner here. Today is the third book in the 30 series on “15 Books Every Person Should Read.” Yesterday was about The Giver by Louis Lowry. Today I’m going to be writing about The Great Gatsby. A beloved, gritty classic about the 1920s, I read this book a few years ago and have been captured by its message ever since. I hope you enjoy today’s book review!                                         The Great Gatsby—a Book Review       The 1920s, dubbed the Roaring Twenties, has captured the imaginations of generations. Twinkling lights, flapper dresses, jazz, and Downton Abbey-esque dinner parties have all been general characterizations of this time period. Add in some speak-easy bars, some romance and mystery, and a trip to the cinema in the family automobile to complete the picture....
