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!"

Books, Books, Books...

Hi, Page Turner here! Okay, so if the start of this high school year as been anything, it has  not  been boring due to lack of books to read. Here's a list of my favorite books, (in no particular order) that I've read since August!     1. "Bud, Not Buddy." This is book filled with humor and pathos and narrated by a ten-year old street-savvy kid in the Great Depression. After loosing his mom when he was six, he is moved to an orphanage. After a series of events, he finds himself alone on the road. But Bud has a secret--he thinks he knows who is father is, and he sets out to find him. This heart-warming story shows the heart of young boy, the mind of a hardened man, and the importance of family. 8/10! 2. "City of Ember Trilogy" Okay, so actually it's a quartet, but I've never liked the "Prophet of Yunwood" anyway. This series follows the events after a devastating world war that caused fire, starvation, and disease; a war that nearly wiped...

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!                   ...

An Ode to My iPod: Part 2

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,...
