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...

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...

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,...

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...
