Hey, Page Turner here! It is Day 23 in my countdown to Valentine's Day! I love this song because, well, it's so upbeat and cheerful and I love the message. I heard once that love is pointing others to Christ. Think about it: what greater thing could you do than point them to Jesus, the Good Shepherd, the Living Water, and the Bread of Life? Anyway, I love that because it really puts God first and makes sense. We can love others and point them to the Lord, because He loves us. We don't have to worry about being accepted or popular, because we're already His son or daughter. We want others to know Him to. Isn't it awesome we have a whole day dedicated to remembering this? And we get to eat chocolate to! And cut lots and lots of pink paper. I feel kind of sorry for the guys, but deal with it. Pink paper is one of the crucial facets of Valentine's Day, as is chocolate, stuffed animals, crinkly balloons, and candy. (I see a trend here.) So are traditions and memories. One of my favorite memories of Valentine's Day was getting takeout pizza and bread sticks and watching Johnny English. Afterward we ate homemade chocolate chip chocolate cake that my mom made. Oh yes, you heard me right. Chocolate cake with chocolate chips that melt halfway, with simple homeade best white frosting. That's right, frosting not icing. There is a difference people, there is a difference. We also went to go to WinterJam with our best friends one year. (Winter Jam: imagine a concert with ten of the most popular Christian singers and bands. Now place them in a football field sized indoor stadium. Now turn up the lights, add glow sticks, junk food, and the sound turned up about 100 decimals more than the human ear should hear. Add a couple hundred (or thousand) of excited, crazy people and you've got Winter Jam.) After Winter Jam our friends came to our house for some dinner and games. It was awesome! I've got a lot of good Valentine's Day memories, and I hope that you'll post some of yours in the comments. I can't wait to make some more this Valentine's Day!
Hi, Page Turner here. It's been a while. I suppose I just haven't had a lot to write about. :) There is, however, something important to write about today. If you're a fan of Lego, science fiction, or just enjoy an awesome plane model, I have some really cool news. Take a look: This elegant Lego design is called the The U.S.S. Martin . It is a Lego set featuring two large engines in the rear (see figure 2) made from blue Lego parts. Within this carrier lies hidden guns for defense when the crew is confronted from surly space pirates or other threats. In the front (see figure 1) lies bulbous cockpit that, in emergency situations, transforms into an eject-able escape pod. The rear of the cargo carrier unfolds to form a ramp, where the happy crew is loading for flight. The U.S.S. Martin is covered with sleek maroon and grey paneling and dotted with vents for heat distr...
iPod, you were in your plastic baggy I stared at you as I cleaned the kitchen How broken you were! The rice could not fix you, it seemed A friend suggested I get a new one Replace you, dear iPod? I had no other choice! You've been with me through a lot, dear iPod Through my first couple basketball games Through that terrible thunderstorm I listened to you during my sad times I played you when I was happy Your music reminded me of good memories Why, wonderful iPod, why did I let you get wet? It was such an innocent thunderstorm I held you as I listened to your song But was it for the last time? I listened to you as we drove long miles Your ability to store music astounds me So many memories are in those songs! My little iPod, you played as we grouted the porch You were beside me in the late nights when I couldn't sleep You lie on my pillow, supplying me with audio as I draw Dear little iPod, your music kept me running I guess I shall have to say good-bye,...
Hi, all! Page Turner here! I hope that everyone is having a great summer! One of the things that I am really excited about this summer is reading. With school and everything else going on, I haven't made time to read a book in a really, really long while. I feel like God gave us books, and that reading the right books can be a blessing in our lives. They can inspire us to be creative, teach us lessons, inspire us to love one another, and move our hearts to both a greater understanding and a greater love for our Savior. I feel like a few hours with a good book are a great use of time--and I plan to be doing just that this summer! Over the next few months, I really hope to revisit some old books as well as some new ones. I know I can't read all of them, but I also hope to at least take a thoughtful review of some books that I feel God has used to impact my life. That's why I've made a non-definitive list of 15 F...
