The Okapi and the Sloth and soon...a Tucan

Hi, Page Turner here! A few days ago, I sort of dared myself to write a post that included ice cream, calendars, a mailman, unicorns, poetry, and, oh yeah, an elephant. (I just threw the last one on as I was ending that post. ) Okay, here I go!
   My favorite animals are like ice cream flavors, calendar pages, weather patterns, and the times...they are a changin'. Yup, like the aforesaid, my favorite animals are always changing. Of course, I will always love my Fox, my dog, and Fluff, Snowball, Peanut, and Groucho, my cats, the best. But the other animals...those be a changin'. Like right now, I love the okapi.This creature looks
a little like a giraffe, with knob-like structures on its forehead. It can actually lick these structures with its tongue! Yes, the tongue of the okapi is an amazing muscle designed by God, with far-reaching abilities! Also, the okapi was once thought to be a unicorn. Not only that, but this amazing creature wasn't discovered by the scientific community until a little over a hundred
years ago! That's a long time for such a noticeable and important and large animal. The okapi is actually considered a living fossil, which is great evidence for creation! For more information, go to Answers in Genesis. :) Okay, so I mentioned that favorite animals are like ice cream flavors, and we all know that we have MULTIPLE ice cream flavors at all times, so my other favorite animal right now is the sloth! This little guy is so cute and
funny--the picture doesn't do him justice! Amazing and unique creatures, God created the sloth in such an amazing way. They are the slowest mammal, lack the muscles to shiver, sleep 18 HOURS a day, and can swim 3 times faster in water. Also, they still so long that they grow fungus and algae on their fur that helps them blend in. That's just so cool! God designed the slow-moving sloth with everything it need to live. That's just so cool! He is an amazing Creator!

 Well, that's it! Next time I'll be talking about Prattling with Paige, inspired by Adventures in Odyssey's own mailman and his blog. Also, I'll include poetry. That's right, just like an elephant, the only mammal who can't jump, I remembered! (I'm like the elephant because I remembered, not because I can't jump.) Hah! I did it! I got it all in! See you later! As the sloth to the right says, "Hang Loose!"

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,...

Calling All Lego Lovers!

     Hi, Page Turner here. It's been a while. I suppose I just haven't had a lot to write about. :) There is, however, something important to write about today.      If you're a fan of Lego, science fiction, or just enjoy an awesome plane model, I have some really cool news. Take a look: This elegant Lego design is called the The U.S.S. Martin . It is a Lego set featuring two large engines in the rear (see figure 2) made from blue Lego parts.      Within this carrier lies hidden guns for defense when the crew is confronted from surly space pirates or other threats.      In the front (see figure 1) lies bulbous cockpit that, in emergency situations, transforms into an eject-able escape pod. The rear of the cargo carrier unfolds to form a ramp, where the happy crew is loading for flight.        The U.S.S. Martin  is covered with sleek maroon and grey paneling and dotted with vents for heat distr...
