Hey guys, I'm back! According to the Internet, April 12 is "Drop Everything and Read Day." I LOVE this day! I was thinking about stories. You know how people say, "Jesus is the most important thing in life?" To some people this doesn't make sense. To a lot of people, the Bible is just a story, and Jesus is just a character. Well, on "Drop Everything and Read Day," I'm here to tell you that Jesus is much more than just a character. He's God. He made me and He walks with me through life. He made you and He knows exactly who you are. He knows that you're reading this right now and He knows everything about you and what happened this morning and what's going to happen tonight. He also knows every sin you've committed, even sins you don't think are sins. Well, here's the deal. Jesus is more than a character. He's saved me from my sins, and He's saved other people I know. God doesn't just make people better---He saves us so we can know Him, which is THE coolest thing ever. Knowing that God loves you, that He's forgiven you, and that He's helping you follow Him because you love Him--He saves us to that. God is so good! He can forgive anyone. If we repent of our sin and believe that He died on the cross in our place and that's why we're forgiven, we're God's children! That's why on "Drop Everything and Read Day," I want to get right down to the point. Jesus is not a character in a made-up story that we're reading. He wrote life. (oh, yeah!) Happy "Drop Everything and Read Day!"

The Good Dinosaur

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...

Marvel Movies 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...

The Invention of Hugo Cabret

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!                   ...
