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 again! In case you were wondering, I had a blast on Valentine's Day and I'm now back for a brand-new movie review! Today, I was able to watch the Good Dinosaur and was left with feelings of Jurassic proportions... The Good Dinosaur starts out with incredible CGI landscapes inspired by the Wyoming mountains, as a green dinosaur couple looks over their three eggs that are starting to hatch, in a moment akin to the very beginning of Finding Nemo. Each of the eggs hatch out three young dinosaurs, but Arlo is the very smallest of his family. As the summers pass and the farming family grows, Arlo's brother and sister place their footprints on the side of their corn silo, besides their parents, indicating they've 'made a mark' on the world. Everybody in his family has one except Arlo; everything in life scares him. His kind Papa tries one day to help Arlo prove his bravery and earn his mark by capturing and destroying the critter that eats from their...
Hi, Page Turner here! I'm back for--guess what!--another book review. That's right, folks. Book reviews are now officially part of the blog and will be labeled under movie reviews. What's this one on? Just one of the greatest graphic novels of all time. Okay, so when I said 'graphic novel' I guess I should be more specific. According to the dictionary a graphic novel is "a novel in a comic strip format." This book combines pages with words with pages covered in beautiful drawings that tell a story almost as clearly as the aforesaid written pages do. If you haven't guessed it all ready, this is the story of "The Invention of Hugo Cabret." If this doesn't sound like your kind of book, does mystery, danger, an orphan kid living in a clock tower, an old man with a secret, the history and magic of movies, or a secret hidden in a metal automaton strike your fancy? Here's my review! ...
Alrighty, a movie review! It's been a while, but I love doing these... Okay, so I've recently watched the Avengers, Avengers 2, Winter Soldier, and Iron Man. (Do you see a pattern?) Here's the rundown: Avengers is really good. It's got violence, and some language, but a lot of funny dialogue, heroic deeds, and suspense, plus a good ol' superhero/modern-end-of-world feel to it. Thor's brother, Loki, teams up with an alien-robot race to take over the world, so S.H.I.E.L.D. must contact Iron Man, Black Widow, Captain America, The Hulk, Thor, and eventually Hawk Eye to save the day. The problem? They don't get along well. In fact, mayhem and dissension could appropriately describe this band of strange heroes with tons of emotional baggage. The team must learn to work together, or the world will suffer the consequences. Avengers 2 is once again riddled with violence and some language, but again has the same redeeming qualities. Hydra springs up once more...
