Out of this World

Page Turner here.
It feels like forever since my last post! Well, six days anyway and a couple things have happened. I got to go see Inside Out! It was great, by the way, and I would heartily recommend it. (As long as you have tissues ready). Also, I noticed I've let the graphics and polls slide into disrepair, so get ready for some new polls, list, and stories. Okay, so I never really think its summer until its July. So on July first, I am going to have a new backdrop and graphics and colors and stuff celebrating Page Turner's Official Start of Summer Feeling. Lastly, I saw Venus and Jupiter last night. Did you know that Venus was named after the Roman god of love, because those who saw it thought it would be a beautiful sister planet to earth, due to its similar shape and size. In reality, Venus is a volcanic planet covered in carbon dioxide that traps in all its heat. It is like one big broiler, spewing lava and poisonous gases. Not exactly the lush green counterpart those star-gazers imagined, is it? Jupiter is the biggest planet. It's really cool, because God placed it near earth, so it would catch all of those deadly comets and meteors in its huge gravitational pull. Multiple comets and meteors have already been sucked in. Jupiter is a gas planet, and has 67 natural satellites.I saw these two amazing creations from my window last night, bright and twinkling in the night sky, and it was difficult to imagine them, us, rotating about the sun in the universe, on one of the many arms of our galaxy. Sometimes we can't see God, but He's always there, even when we forget. Even if we can't see Him, He will never leave or forsake us. Even though I couldn't see Venus or Jupiter before tonight from my window, they were still there. Deu.31:8  It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed."

No Strings Attatched

"I've got no strings to hold me down, to make me fret, to make me frown!" sang little Pinocchio as he danced glibly around the stage, string-less and worry-less, as the other puppets look sadly on, connected by strings like true marionettes. Maybe you recognize this scene from the 1945 Disney Pinocchio movie. For some reason, that made me think about our strings. I think we pride ourselves to be like Pinocchio: chipper, happy, and totally independent (although not quite as wooden.) Well, in reality, we are totally dependent on God. Our talents, our future, our past, our present, and our circumstances are all in the hand's of God. Sure, our decisions change things, but God's in control; nothing we do happens without Him planning it. Good grief, we don't even control our body! You can't tell your cells to burn glucose to give you energy, or your heart to beat, or your stomach juices to digest the food. (Say it with me, eww . Very good.) But God looks after u...

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,...

Day 21

  Hey, Page Turner here! Back for day 20 in my countdown to Valentine's Day. There is a lot of romance movies out there. One of my personal favorites is Princess Bride. ( spoiler alerts ahead)  I mean, come on. " My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." It doesn't get much better than that, does it?! Princess Bride is a humorous romance complete with a kidnapped princess, shrieking eels, giants, sword fights, Miracle Max, betrayal, and a dashing hero. The best part is the entire story is read by a grandpa to his sick grandchild, a young kid with a cynical sense of humor and boyish distaste for romance. The movie follows the love story of Buttercup and Wesley, two peasants who are madly in love. Their story is cut short when Wesley dies at the hand of the Dread Pirate Robertson, and Buttercup is given to the prince to marry. As the days count down to her wedding day, Buttercup is kidnapped by a Spaniard swordsman, a kind-hearted giant, and a se...
