Arts and Entertainment

Bonjour! And so I begin my second Arts and Entertainment post of the month. And mostly likely not the last! Here we go...
    Okay, so the whole French greeting was a nod toward Nick Pitera's amazing rendition of "Belle" from Beauty and The Beast. He does all of the voices perfectly! Here's the link if you want to watch it--it's amazing and super funny. http://blogs.disney.com/oh-my-disney/2013/11/19/nick-pitera-is-awesome-once-again/ 

Watch out for a few more movie reviews! Up next on my movie-list is Tomorrowland and Lord of the Rings--Fellowship of the Ring. Oh yeah, whoa. Great movies up ahead. (So there's a dispute about Tomorrowland: so what? I'm not listening to negative comments until I watch it for myself.) It's going to be great. And I'm waited on bated breath for Pan. It looks amazing--and beautiful.

Fun Facts you might not know about Pixar:
1. Animators are encouraged to decorate cubicles: the result is unbelievably awesome!
2. On Pixar campus is a pool, a movie theater, and a basketball court.
3. Everybody rides scooters around campus.
4. Here's a ton of random facts about their movies! http://blogs.disney.com/oh-my-disney/2015/05/30/12-things-you-didnt-know-about-disney-pixar-films/

Anyway, there's my short but sweet Arts and Entertainment post of the month. But I have forgotten the books! I'll end it with a poem found in Jesus, The One and Only,  written by Beth Moore:
                                                    
                                                O perfect Lamb of Passover
                                                        Let me not quickly run.
                                                    Recount to me the blessed plot
                                                      Tell how the plan was spun
                                                    That I, a slave of Egypt's lusts
                                                        A prisoner of dark dread
                                                  Could be condemned unto a cross
                                                     And find You nailed instead
                                           
                                                                      Au revoir,
                                                                            ---page turner

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
