Day 16



Hey, Page Turner again. It's day 16 in my Countdown to Valentine's Day. So, I've covered some cute DIY Valentine's, some Disney gifts, and some cool trivia on Valentine's Day. But what to plan for Valentine's Day? You could always do the classics...
Movies--movies are always a good choice. Spend some time with loved ones while watching Star Wars, or any other movie of your choice. But probably Star Wars! If you want to splurge, get popcorn, candy, and a drink.
Dinner--everybody, family, friends, and sweethearts, love a special dinner for Valentine's Day. A fancy restaurant, the favorite takeout pizza, or thoughtfully prepared burgers, it doesn't matter. Just celebrate with friends or family.
Or the wacky...
Make a treasure hunt all over town, binge watch Valentine Hallmark movies, tape paper hearts all over someone's door.
Or something Disney!
It's pretty hard to accomplish but if you can arrange for a ball in a castle (with glass slippers), get a boat ride with floating lanterns, or a magic carpet ride, then you're all set. And if you could accomplish one of those: wow. Kudos to you!
   It doesn't really matter what you do for Valentine's Day: each person has a different tradition. Some go to fancy restaurants and eat spaghetti, and some go to movies and drink Coke. Some stay at home and play board games, and I know that some people don't even celebrate Valentine's Day. For most, it's an ordinary day, with a special date night, flowers, and Valentine's from your family. Any way you want to do it is great! Just celebrate the love you have for others, and the love God has for you. Even if you don't usually celebrate this holiday, take a chance to call or text someone to tell them you love them, say a prayer...and eat chocolate. (You knew that one was coming!) Either way, I hope you have a fantastic Valentine's Day! If you need another idea for a laid-back Valentine's Day, sit down with family and friends and watch the comedian, Tim Hawkins. He's amazingly funny and I promise you'll enjoy it. Happy Valentine's Day!

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
