Blogging Again...


See Details Below

 Hey, I'm back! Page Turner here. It's been a while since I've been on my blog, but I'm excited to be back! I hope you've all had a good summer. Mine's been busy, but great, although my blog has taken a backseat...for the past few months. I always thought a blog was about being cool and enjoyable and getting a lot of people to read it,  but now I realize that writing is a gift that God's given me. When I enjoy it, I bring praise to Him and glorify Him. Writing on my blog, rejoicing in His love and being excited about the the happiness I get from the gift He's given me...glorifying my Savior...that's a great reason for writing a blog! God is amazing! Anyway, it's good to be back. Here's some updates...
  • I love writing book reviews and movie reviews, so I'm going to be reviewing Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man Tell No Tales, Descendants 2, and AstroBoy, and for books, Rilla of Ingleside and Uncle Tom's Cabin.
  • I'm starting a new section: a Science section. It's a lot like my Random Facts and Trivia, but more centered on Science. I think how God made the world work is so incredible and I love writing about it and marveling at His awsomeness we can see in creation!
  • Cool News: Sign Language is an official language you can take in high school. Many bills have been passed recently allowing it to be accredited. I think that is so amazing and important. 
  • Lastly, I know someone who has recently built an amazing Lego Set. He's entered a contest called, Lego Ideas and if you get enough votes, it can become an official Lego set. This young man has been working on it for countless hours, and put unimaginable details into his design. And, he's built it into a Jeep Cherokee, one of my favorite vehicles. He is so talented and got it to look exactly right. It's super easy to vote for him. If you go to https://ideas.lego.com/dashboard and find the log in, once you click on that, there will be a blue bar that asks if you don't already have an account. It's free and takes about a minute and a half to create. Afterwards, go to this link: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/39ad30ec-ce30-44a3-973f-f52c5c6785a8 or search for Jeep Cherokee XJ, you can click "Support". This is like voting, and raises his tally. Once he gets to 10,000, it becomes a set. He's even gotten a Staff Pick, which is really important and cool! Lego Staff have voted that his set is one of their favorites. So please vote!  :)  It's made by legomountainfanatic.
Anyway, that's it! I hope to be blogging a lot more! See you later...

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,

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

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
