Lights, Camera, Action!

Okay, quick! Think of your three favorite quotes. Chances are, they probably came from a movie, maybe a book. But probably a movie, right? Movies impact us a lot. Think of the Hunger Games. You can never think of eating pita bread without smiling, can you? Or how about Star Wars? If someone says, "It's gonna take a lot of force to move this," you immediately start humming the Darth Vader song, right? Or how about if someone started saying, "Do you want to-", I bet you finish it with "...build a snowman?" I've had that one happen to me a lot. Anyway, the point is, movies affect us. But some movies aren't all so good, and some even put bad language, images, or songs into our heads. Of course, there are a lot of good ones, like the majority of Disney and Dreamworks, along with other movie companies. I think there are some awesome Christian movies out there right now, but there hasn't been a good, quality C.G.I animated Christian film. Even VeggieTales has sold to someone else! I think that someone should start an animated film company, similar in quality to Disney Pixar, Disney Studios, or Dreamworks, and central its  films around God, have a good story line, and make a positive difference, all for the glory of our Savior. Is anyone with me? It would be so cool. Imagine a twist on a classic fairy tale story, with as good of quality as Tangled or Brave. (Of course, we might have to ask for John Lasseter, the producer of Pixar, to help!) Anyway, I think that would be so neat. We have talents that God has given us; let's use them for His glory. Get ready, movie industry! We're takin' you by storm!

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

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,

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
