Day 17

Hey, Page Turner here! It is officially day  17 in my countdown to Valentine's Day, and the symptoms have begun to set in...What to get? What does that special someone in your life want for Valentine's Day? Well, being a Disney movie buff may finally pay off! (That and reading the blog at www.blogs.disney.com). Here's my own list of awesome Disney/Pixar presents that would be great for Valentine's Day:
Belle's Library--You've got to admit that having an entire library to yourself is pretty cool. Especially a four story library with millions of books, multiple staircases, and Baroque style furniture. But, if you can't afford that, give your sweetheart, friend, or family member a good book to read. If you don't know what to give someone, give them a nice copy of a classic book; it's a good idea for any occasion. And, as Cogsworth says, "If it's not Baroque, don't fix it."
 The Magical Glowing Flower Or A Lantern--Okay, so who doesn't want to go inside a gondola-type boat with your true love and watch about a million lanterns float into the sky, while singing a classic love song? Everybody wants to. So this Valentine's Day, if you're sweetheart digs Tangled, give them a small paper lantern, with a card that says "My heart's on fire for you." The second present would be a magic glowing flower, but I hear they come in short supply. I really want 70 foot long magic hair, though!
  The Grape Soda Pin--If you've ever seen Up, it's understandable why you're crying. Go get yourself a tissue. You back? Okay good. The Grape Soda Pin is from iconic moment when Carl and Ellie meet. Carl wears it throughout the movie, until he finally bestows 'the highest honor' to Russel. You can get a Grape Soda Pin at the Disney World Pin shop.
A Day--In Frozen Fever, Elsa gives Anna a day all to herself while singing a catchy song. Although the song' is optional, try treating your Valentine out for a day! Do everything they like--and little baby snowmen might even join the fun.
There's my list. Here's the Disney blog's actual list of ideas: http://blogs.disney.com/oh-my-disney/2016/01/28/valentines-day-gift-guide/. The Millennium Falcon necklace is my favorite! Anyway, if you're a Disney fan, here are a ton of ideas! I was thinking yesterday that the greatest gift we can give others is to point them to God. I think that God uses our prayers to Him about others to grow in our love for Him, and for the people we're praying for. So say a prayer, watch a Disney movie, and eat chocolate!

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
