Harper's Island - One by One



I'm a big dramatic arts fan, in other words I enjoy TV and movies a lot. I love getting lost in the stories and connecting to the characters. There isn't a genre I don't like, although I don't like everything in that genre.

Netflix is one of my favorite things. A dvd store that comes to me, brilliant! Not only can I get DVDs in the mail but I can stream, instant watching, which is convenient and addicting. The newest thing on my Netflix instant queue is Harper's Island, a one time series of 13 episodes. Think of it as an extended mini-series. If you like Agatha Christie and Stephen King then this is the show for you. I like the suspense and horror that Harper's Island brings. It's clever and very "And Then There Were None."

The premise is of a wedding party/guests sailing to Harper's Island, where 7 years ago a psycho went on a murdering spree killing several people including the main character's (Abby) mother. Abby hasn't return to the island since her mother's death and there haven't been murders since the sheriff, Abby's dad, killed the pyscho. Once the group sets sail to the island for a week long wedding , party/guest members begin to disappear. Each being killed in a horrible manner. If you are faint of heart and don't like the "show and tell" portion of horror films I would stay away. Now the murders are not readily found out, seeing as the killer hides his mess giving himself extra time to plan. That's all you need to know. The less I say the more you can enjoy!

Actually one more thing, just an interesting fact, the episode titles all correspond to the sound of how someone is going to die. It very tongue and cheek.

I haven't finished the series yet, I'm only half way through, but I'm totally hooked! The episodes keep me guesses and the deaths always surprise me. The show also includes a little girl who completely creeps me out, which is a good thing. Children and horror the scariest combination!



So if your looking for a good scare and some suspense check out Harper's Island where they disappear one by one.

God Bless You!  Jesus Culture - Your Love Never Fails Nothing can separate Even if I ran away Your love never fails I know I still make mistakes But You have new mercies for me everyday Your love never fails Chorus: You stay the same through the ages Your love never changes There may be pain in the night but joy comes in the morning  And when the oceans rage I don't have to be afraid Because I know that You love me Your love never fails Verse 2: The wind is strong and the water's deep But I'm not alone here in these open seas Cause Your love never fails The chasm is far too wide I never thought I'd reach the othe

Obedience brings Victory. And Victory is Life

I'm a big Star Trek fan. I've enjoyed almost ever incarnation of this Sci-Fi giant. Recently my husband and I have been watching Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. One of the enemies for this particular series are the Jem'Hadar. These creatures are genetically engineered for battle and controlled through a drug called ketracel-white; which they require to function properly. Their mantra is "Obedience brings Victory. And Victory is Life." Every time they say this, I cringe. They are following orders from people who don't care for them and whose only goal is their own survival. I always felt it was such a terrible mantra. But today I had a revelation.  During today's sermon, my pastor was going over John 10, The Good Shepherd. One of his points was how do we ensure that we can hear our Good Shepherd's (Jesus) voice. We need to read His word, meditate in His word, memorize His word and obey  His word. Through obeying His word & voice we find life.

Heavenly Father (4/13/16)

Heavenly Father, Thank you for your wonderful love, grace and mercy. You have been my constant, my rock and my refugee. You have guided my path into directions I never would have thought to go. Lord, recently I have been questioning my desire to continue in the path I find myself. Is this restlessness from you? Is it God given? Do you have another path you want me to take? Father I ask for insight. Lord guide me. Father light the path you want me to take. Show me without a shadow of a doubt the directions/steps to take. Father, I rebuke any unnecessary fear that I may feel in whatever you ask me to do. If this fear is coming from the enemy, erase it and feel it withe courage and faith. Guard my heart and mind, Lord. Lord, I'm also asking for a miracle. Scott and I, for 10 years now, have this desire to have children. Lord bless us with a child. I'm being pushy now, Bless us with children! Lord, cover these children with your love, mercy and grace. Lord perform a MIRA
