Page Turner Daily News

Hi! Page Turner here. I know it's been a while since my last post, so here's an overview of what's happened since then!

Art and Entertainment: Okay, so the new movie Pan came out. I haven't seen it yet, but it looks so good. Also, Pixar has announced the release dates for their new movies, including The Good Dinosaur, Zootopia,  Toy Story 4, and Incredibles 2. Sadly, Incredibles 2 doesn't come out until 2019! I guess I'll just have to watch the first one four thousand more times...! Also, I went to go see Tim Hawkins. If you don't know who he is, go find out. Really. He's a great--and the funniest--comedian I've ever seen. Also, he's a Christian and family-friendly. I saw him live and he was fantastic!!!! He hugged my mom as he came down the aisle playing his harmonica. It was amazing! Also, if you want a really good TV show, I could suggest a billion, from Christy, to Lab Rats, to Pride and Prejudice (the five hour version with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle) But my most recent favorite series is Warehouse 13. It's a sci-fi/ fantasy/ adventure/ comedy/ drama (They like to cover all the grounds). It's about a group of people on a branch of the Secret Service that finds 'artifacts' that can do strange things. A shard from Cinderella's slipper can turn a person to glass, Magelons's Astrolabe can turn back time, Harriet Tubman's thimble can make you look like someone else, and so on. It's all stored in the Warehouse. Although rated TV-14 for violence and a few words, this show always has a good message, strong characters, and 'endless wonderment'. (Heh, heh, that's the tagline.)

Food and Drink: Publix has the best cakes, if anyone was wondering--especially their raspberry cream cheese cake. Egg nogg is out quite early this year and gryo potato chips--while good in theory--aren't good in real life. Just trust me on this one.

Sports: I don't know anything about sports. If you want news, go look it up. :)

Fox Daily News: Fox, my extremely cute golden retriever has been great. She's gotten over the whole must-eat-everything instinct and is now just focusing on rocks and socks and shoes. (-And earrings. It's a long story, but she's fine. Not so with the earring...) She's a little obsessive with the socks. Okay, a lot. She'll grab 3 socks in her mouth and dive onto the couch. We pull out two and scold her; when we turn around a few minutes later, she's chowing down on another one! She's so cute, though. So cute!

   Anyway, thanks for catching up. God is so good! He is with us and loves us everyday--He's always with me even days that aren't recorded on this blog. :)

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
