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."

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Hi, I'm Paige Turner, and I'm back for the Christmas season. I'm looking forward to writing more on my blog and also celebrating one of my favorite times of the year! Christmas can be an exciting, cozy, comforting time, but it can also be filled with stress, doubt, and sadness as we think of those we miss. Wherever you are this Christmas season, I pray that you'll find peace in our Savior--something that we all need to be reminded of, including me. :) Christmas can also be an exciting time, full of joy--even during stress and sadness, a deeper kind of joy--about Jesus, our Healer and King.I'm looking forward to celebrating love, family (while eating some delicious food), but most importantly, Jesus, Immanuel, which means, "God with us." Merry Christmas!                                                                                     See you soon,                                                                                          

Gilligan: the Mind Reader

I love the show "Gilligan's Island." In this old TV comedy, seven castaways are stranded on an island and are constantly looking for a way off--but poor, awkward Gilligan always messes it up. Once on the show, Gilligan finds a bush with beans that enable him to read others minds. How cool would that be! I mean, forget conversation barriers, awkwardness, finding the right words to say, etc, etc. Or is it? By the end of the show, the entire group was pitted against each other, for everyone could read each others thoughts. Thoughts are supposed to be hidden from others. Even though we are supposed to take every thought captive to Christ, I know I struggle. Ugly things pop into our minds--who would want to see that?  In science fiction, mind reading has always been seen as fascinating, bizarre, and a gift. In Gilligan's Island, the Professor admits that he thought it would create world peace. Hah. But the truth is, Someone knows every thought you've ever thunk, and w

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
