I like playing this game. I keep calling it my "hunt and peck" game. It reminds me of the old highlights magazine. Classic fun.

Sweet Magnolias

I finished watching Dark Matter, and was disappointed that it just ended. Massive cliff hanger aaaaaaand done! Argh! So, I went back to another show that left me on a cliff hanger a while back. Sweet Magnolias came out with another season a little while ago. I don't really watch all that much TV, so I like to stick to one or two shows at time. It was fun to return to this one. Sappy, sad, and cute.

Diving Into the Arrowverse

I've decided to turn up the geek and dive into the Arrowverse following along with the episodes in order according to this handy resource . I finished Arrow Seasons 1 Episode 1. This is a LONG list. It's going to take me a while to watch this! It should be fun.

Music Designed to Illicit Emotion

Several days ago, I watched this YouTube video with my husband. Its title doesn't do it justice! It's very educational, interesting, and just cool. This video comes to mind again because of a comment about Hillsong music on Facebook. Yes, there are the scandals, but this comment struck a chord with me. (Couldn't resist the pun!) The comment (in part): "Hillsong always bothered me because their songs were always more emotion than substance, and their theology was weak or non-existent. The songs are carefully designed to induce an emotional response..." Emotional responses aren't bad. They're human, and God designed music to do exactly that. That said, the emotional impact shouldn't be the priority over the goal of worship music, which is to worship God. Some worship music is even designed to share the Gospel. It's worth pondering all of this. Some Hillsong music, I like, and some I don't. I'm not boycotting Hillsong because of their scandals
