About Page Turner 411

Hi, my name is Page Turner! I like to read, write, and walk with my golden retriever, Fox. I love Jesus, and want to make Him central in all that I do! I hope that this blog glorifies Him! I write a lot about reading and writing, and about what the Lord has shown me in my life. I hope you enjoy this blog, and come back again! :)

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

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

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 &
