Peace on Earth


  Hi, Page Turner here! I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas season! This season has seemed to blow by so fast with school work, shopping, movies, and cooking. It's only a few days until Christmas, and it feels as if we have just finished Thanksgiving.
 This Christmas, I don't know about you, but I've found it very easy to be distracted: television shows (Dr. Who, anyone?), gift-giving, buying, and wrapping; the stress of the holidays,  Christmas music the ensuing memories, both good and bad, Christmas traditions, gatherings, candy, Christmas programs, and, oh yeah,
SQUIRREL!
Sometimes, I need help remembering the real reason for the season. My heart can feel discontent, sad, and burdened during the holiday season, as we all try to celebrate Christmas and combat stress. It's important to remember that no matter who you are, what kind of Christmas you are having, and no matter what's going on, Jesus is still the reason for the season: and the message is still the same. We can come to Him for forgiveness of our sins. He loves us and gives us a relationship with Him. That's comforting to know that in the holiday season, when I start to get distracted. Going back to the real reason of Christmas, gives me peace. When Christ was born, the shepherds rejoiced and the angels proclaimed peace. The Prince of Peace is our Savior. That's a great reason to celebrate Christmas! I hope that you have a wonderful Christmas as we celebrate the birth of our Lord, and the peace and love that comes from knowing Him. Merry Christmas!!

Day 20

Hey, Page Turner here! Okay, so Valentine's Day comes with a few keywords: love, (obviously) pink, heart, flowers, and chocolate. As you all know, movies are my jam, so here's the 19th day for my Countdown to Valentine's Day! Okay, so in movies Disney is the epitome of love stories, sappy or not. Even more specifically, the Princess Movies. (Cue eww from the guys. It's like kryptonite for males...) So in each movie the hero does something awesome for the heroine he loves. (Cue aww from the girls.) So here at pageturner411, I've compiled a list of heroic good deeds the good heroes have done!     Snow White-- Okay, so the scene opens and this dapper Dan serenades a poor peasant girl, a.k.a., Snow White. Score one for Snow White's Prince! Serenading and making her feel special, good for you. Next, he spends a great deal of time looking for her, and eventually wakes her up from a death-like sleep. 23/100 chocolate flowers for Snow White's Prince.    Cinderella...

The Good Dinosaur

Hi, Page Turner again! In case you were wondering, I had a blast on Valentine's Day and I'm now back for a brand-new movie review! Today, I was able to watch the Good Dinosaur and was left with feelings of Jurassic proportions...   The Good Dinosaur starts out with incredible CGI landscapes inspired by the Wyoming mountains, as a green dinosaur couple looks over their three eggs that are starting to hatch, in a moment akin to the very beginning of Finding Nemo. Each of the eggs hatch out three young dinosaurs, but Arlo is the very smallest of his family. As the summers pass and the farming family grows, Arlo's brother and sister place their footprints on the side of their corn silo, besides their parents, indicating they've 'made a mark' on the world. Everybody in his family has one except Arlo; everything in life scares him. His kind Papa tries one day to help Arlo prove his bravery and earn his mark by capturing and destroying the critter that eats from their...

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,...
