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, for real this time
No more lines of poetry, more words of prose...
It might be time to get another grey iPod
But they will never replace you....
But, wait! Behold!
As I pick you up, your screen moves
Joy!
I can navigate to the music, dark as your screen is
No back light provides light for me to see
But I don't care little iPod
You're fixed and that's all that matters
Let's go listen to a song, little grey iPod....

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

Day 21

  Hey, Page Turner here! Back for day 20 in my countdown to Valentine's Day. There is a lot of romance movies out there. One of my personal favorites is Princess Bride. ( spoiler alerts ahead)  I mean, come on. " My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." It doesn't get much better than that, does it?! Princess Bride is a humorous romance complete with a kidnapped princess, shrieking eels, giants, sword fights, Miracle Max, betrayal, and a dashing hero. The best part is the entire story is read by a grandpa to his sick grandchild, a young kid with a cynical sense of humor and boyish distaste for romance. The movie follows the love story of Buttercup and Wesley, two peasants who are madly in love. Their story is cut short when Wesley dies at the hand of the Dread Pirate Robertson, and Buttercup is given to the prince to marry. As the days count down to her wedding day, Buttercup is kidnapped by a Spaniard swordsman, a kind-hearted giant, and a se
