Mary, did you know that your baby boy   Would one day walk on water? Mary, did you know that your baby boy Would save our sons and daughters? Did you know that your baby boy Has come to make you new? This child that you delivered, will soon deliver you Mary, did you know that your baby boy Will give sight to a blind man? Mary, did you know that your baby boy Will calm the storm with his hand?

Heroes

  A few weeks ago on my way to work I reached a wreck in the middle of the road.  It looked bad.  I drove around the wreck slowly only noticing one person out of their car.  I did not stop because I knew there was nothing I could do but assist in calling 911.  So, I called 911 as I was driving and gave dispatch the location and relayed everything I saw.  I thought, "I hope someone gets there soon that can help."   I've always been a fan of the super hero genre, whether it's books, comic books, movies or television shows.  I've noticed that most people are fans of the super hero in some form or another.  Why? Why do we like heroes?  Why are we attracted to the good vs. evil story lines?  I think we like these stories because they can spark hope.  We all want something to hope for.  Hope brings positive vibes.   Recently, I've been watching the hit TV series Superman and Lois.  I never tire of watching Clark Kent transform into the all powerful Superman and save

Fairy tale Undone

 With the controversy surrounding Rachel Zegler's comments toward the original fairy tale Snow White, I again can't help myself from writing my plethora of thoughts.  Of course, I've read the many articles and comments out there and watched the many videos of commentary about her words.  When I learned of her casting, I was not bothered by it.  She is of Colombian and Polish descent, but I think she looks enough like Snow White that it could work.  This was not a big deal to me and is the least of my worries with regard to this new remake.......or re-imagining.........or perhaps a whole new movie that should not bear the name "Snow White". They, of course, had to leave out the "and the seven dwarfs" part because they are absent.  Disney conducted a study to find out the best PC way to handle the dwarfs' part without being offensive while still being inclusive.....????????  Yes, that's right, their conclusion was to leave them out altogether.  I w

It's a Barbie world.....or not!

  Barbie can be anything, including a feminist, a fascist, and now a tool for division apparently!  She can even, now be against her creator and blamed for all of women's problems in society! It's not hard to understand this movie after reading and hearing the countless reviews.  What is hard to understand, is the hype and rave around it! I'm not a regular listener of Ben Shapiro, but I must say his recent review of the Barbie movie had me laughing!  I could have done without his swearing and the reiterating of just how big a pile of garbage it was.  Okay, Ben, we get it, it's a burning heap of toxic trash as big as every landfill on the planet combined!  He gives a pretty detailed synopsis of the movie, I think he about covered it, according to other things I've read, including raving reviews.  I have to agree with him more than those raving about it.  He made some great points, they were fair and of course not points anyone wants to address or talk about because t
