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!!

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,...

The Giver

Hi, Page Turner here again! I am here again to write about my next book on the 30 day journey of 15 Fiction Books Every Person Should Read (a book every two days). I think that books are a blessing God has given us to love Him more, be creative, and be inspired. I love reading, and hope you enjoy these books!       Yesterday's book was  The Boy in the Striped Pajamas . Today, I'll be writing about  The Giver.  I read this book in 9th grade and was completely immersed in Jonas' world. While I understood the deeper allegory behind this deeply-stirring book, it wasn't until this year that God fully connected the dots I had read in  The Giver.   This book has deeply affected my life-- I hope you enjoy this book review, and give  The Giver  a try sometime this summer!                                               ...

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Book 1

             Hi, all! Page Turner here! I hope you are having a great summer! I like to read a lot, and one of my very favorite books is The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. While a sad book, it is one of those works of literature that you feel has profoundly changed your life. I hope you enjoy this first review, and read The Boy in the Striped Pajamas  sometime this summer!                                              The Boy in the Striped Pajamas--A Review                 The horrible events of the past seem like horrors that will never be repeated in the present. After all, the world must have learned its lesson concerning different atrocities. People join in with author John Boyne as he writes,“Of course all this happened a long time ago and nothing like that could ever h...
