Sunday Sayings

I recently rediscovered Demi Lovato's "no makeup monday" selfies, and I know we still have a little bit o time until Monday, but for today's Sunday Sayings I would like to do a No Makeup Monday edition.
The idea is to promote natural beauty and self confidence in order to teach girls that looks aren't that important, but also that everyone is beautiful in her (or his) own way.

Sunday Sayings

So for those of you keeping up on world events, this weekend has been a particularly important one for the LGBTQ community. I am sure some of you have already noticed, but I want to let you know now that this blog is for expressing my views and so it will reflect my Christian beliefs. That being said, I want everyone to know that I do not hate gays. I have a relative who is gay, and I love them and their spouse and children very much. However, this does not mean that I feel that their lifestyle choices are right. Living in Canada, legalized gay marriage is not a new concept to me. But the changes in America are an indication of the direction that the world is headed.

If attitudes in America have begun to change, it won't be long before the rest of Western society follows. I don't feel that it is the responsibili...

A Wizard of Earthsea

[Warning: contains mild spoilers] I first read this book when I was eleven. I remember being really fascinated by it, but having to return the copy to school at the end of the year even though I wasn't done reading it. So I took it out of the library, but by then I was unsure what part I had reached and I frankly don't remember finishing it...maybe that's because I never did. Nonetheless when I thought about trying to get back into really good, classic fantasy, this book came to mind and I knew I needed to read it again. What makes this book so great isn't the writing or even the setting, although those definitely add to the overall atmosphere. The thing that  stands out most about this book is that it's not an archetypal fantasy story of good versus evil. Instead, it is a story that uses magic to discuss the darker side of humanity and a young man's internal struggle with the darkest parts of himself. There are no major battles in the story, and magic is ge...

The Gift

[Potential spoilers; read at your own risk] This movie is full of suspense, but it's not nearly as scary as you'd expect. While watching it, you feel like so much could go wrong. And, in a way, it does. However, in the end everyone is kind of able to go on as if nothing had happened, except that they are never going to forget that it did happen. The movie focuses on a young couple, Simon and Robyn, who have just bought a new house in the husband's hometown. There, they meet a man named Gordo who was bullied by the husband in high school. Gordo becomes fixated on his bully managin to have such a perfect life. However, we learn it is not all perfect since the couple lost their first child and are hesitant to keep trying to have another. Gordo also becomes attached to, and perhaps fascinated with, Robyn. He keeps leaving gifts for them and visiting with them, but the couple get scared by how obsessed he is with them. As time moves forward, they seem to keep their distance from...
