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 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!                   ...

The Great Gatsby Book Review

Hi, Page Turner here. Today is the third book in the 30 series on “15 Books Every Person Should Read.” Yesterday was about The Giver by Louis Lowry. Today I’m going to be writing about The Great Gatsby. A beloved, gritty classic about the 1920s, I read this book a few years ago and have been captured by its message ever since. I hope you enjoy today’s book review!                                         The Great Gatsby—a Book Review       The 1920s, dubbed the Roaring Twenties, has captured the imaginations of generations. Twinkling lights, flapper dresses, jazz, and Downton Abbey-esque dinner parties have all been general characterizations of this time period. Add in some speak-easy bars, some romance and mystery, and a trip to the cinema in the family automobile to complete the picture....

Who is the Best Avenger?

Hey, hey, hey! It's me again. Monday isn't the best of days, so I'd like to let off some steam by revisiting one of my favorite things to do: debate about movies. Oh, yeah. Today's topic? Who is the best Avenger? (Yeah, uh oh. This could conversation could get heated :) The following post is my personal opinion and I'd love to hear yours in the comments!        Okay, so we've got, what, like, 10 Avengers now? Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Captain America, Thor, the Hulk, Spiderman, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch...I'm leaving out a few, but you get the gist. I'm going to just focus on the original: Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Captain America, Thor, and the Hulk. Now, pretty much all of these guys are pretty cool. Natasha's like a secret agent/karate fighter, the Hulk can turn green and smash buildings, Iron Man's like a techno Superman, Thor can, well, control lightning, Hawkeye's Avenger's version of Katnis, and Captain America'...
