Empowering Daughters of God

 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...

  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 t...

The ability to feel is a gift.....a miracle really.  To feel the whole spectrum of emotions can be amazing, euphoric, and overwhelming.  Emotion is something that can be hard for us to get a handle on.  A few weeks ago in a Sunday School class we were discussing stones.  Stones we carry.  We all have things we hold on to, things that happen to us and things that just are.  Our emotions can be stones, trials, challenges, judgement, decisions, mistakes, sins, and pains can be stones.  We always carry these with us.   Stones often times get a bad rap.  Stoning was a horrific way to die.  We carry stones that weigh us down, they drag us down, they slow us down, and make us weak.  Carrying these stones is hard and we just can't do it sometimes.  Stones crush, stones harm, stones can be so awful!  As this discussion ensued, a wonderful woman spoke up about how she couldn't stop thinking about marble and how it's made. ...
