Peace on Earth


  Hi, Page Turner here! I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas season! This season has seemed to blow by so fast with school work, shopping, movies, and cooking. It's only a few days until Christmas, and it feels as if we have just finished Thanksgiving.
 This Christmas, I don't know about you, but I've found it very easy to be distracted: television shows (Dr. Who, anyone?), gift-giving, buying, and wrapping; the stress of the holidays,  Christmas music the ensuing memories, both good and bad, Christmas traditions, gatherings, candy, Christmas programs, and, oh yeah,
SQUIRREL!
Sometimes, I need help remembering the real reason for the season. My heart can feel discontent, sad, and burdened during the holiday season, as we all try to celebrate Christmas and combat stress. It's important to remember that no matter who you are, what kind of Christmas you are having, and no matter what's going on, Jesus is still the reason for the season: and the message is still the same. We can come to Him for forgiveness of our sins. He loves us and gives us a relationship with Him. That's comforting to know that in the holiday season, when I start to get distracted. Going back to the real reason of Christmas, gives me peace. When Christ was born, the shepherds rejoiced and the angels proclaimed peace. The Prince of Peace is our Savior. That's a great reason to celebrate Christmas! I hope that you have a wonderful Christmas as we celebrate the birth of our Lord, and the peace and love that comes from knowing Him. Merry Christmas!!

Twenty Seconds of Insane Courage.....

Hi, Page Tuner here! Have you ever seen "Finding Nemo ", "Tangled, " or pretty much any other Disney movie? They pretty much have a few things in common: 1. They all have singing 2. They all have heroes 3. And they all have a point in the story where I'm sobbing     The second point is pretty true for almost every movie, book, or television show ever created, right? A story can't function, not really, without a hero. What would the point of the Avengers be without the Avengers? Or Aladdin without Aladdin? Or " The Princess and the Frog" without the princess or the frog? (Also, hero's get their names on movies a lot!) So what makes a movie hero a hero? Well, mostly bravery. Not many hero's end up with their hero cred by cowering in fear or running away. To quote Ralph Waldo Emerson, "A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer." This reminds me of a movie....            Have you ever seen &

Flamingos!

Flamingos! Hey, Page Turner here again. So when I logged into my computer, I have a screensaver that changes each day. Today's was a beautiful picture of flamingos. Their tall, twig-slender legs, beautiful soft pink feathers, and elegantly curved neck was clearly visible in the shallow water. I think that God designed flamingos in such an amazing way! They are absolutely beautiful creatures, like a sunset with wings! Also, these exotic birds have amazing adaptions. Did you know that their long, long slender legs have really rough skin on them? They stand in salty water that would burn a human's skin clean off almost instantly, but they are unaffected because of their protection. Also, like penguins, both the parents help care for their egg, which they lay on a mound of mud in the middle of a lake. Also like penguins, they feed their young regurgitated meals. They are fast runners, slow fliers, and great runners. I think that God's amazing design is evident in these beautif

Singing Stars

Hey, Page Turner here! I think science is so cool. There is so much to learn about creation. Did you know that blue whales way up to 100 tons? Or that stars 'sing' like whales? And that certain cave fish have adapted to be blind and colorless, because they don't need sight or camoflauge? From the Great Barrier Reef, to the swirling supernovas, we can see how the earth praises Jesus. God is so amazing and His creation brings glory to Him. I am so astounded that He is so creative and that the entire universe is crying out in praise to Him--and yet He made a way for us to have a personal relationship where we cry out, "Abba, Father!" God is so amazing!   I'll be back later with either a book review or video. See you later!                                                                                    ---page turner
