Good high school friends at a classic high school haunt.
Since I was a little girl my father has read me the infamous Harry Potter books.
They were very much a part of my coming of age and I still get lost in them
even at 20 years old.
I believe that the stories are genius.
Every aspect of the plot is intertwined together with
ancient language references or twists that would blow your mind.
I am distraught to think about all the people out there who label
Harry Potter as "evil" without even breaking the bindings to
witness the intelligence and moral ideals that are placed within these books.
I write on this subject because the final movie comes out tomorrow
If you are a fan... or even a skeptic you should read this article to the end
it presents ideals that I support that do not even have
to ultimately deal with the book.
One of my favorite quotes is:
“But listen: we’re free to enjoy the good and the beautiful, even from the most unlikely places. We’re free—and this is huge—to look for the light in people (and things!), to give them the benefit of the doubt, to laud their beauty, to outlove unloveliness–in short, to love as Christ loves us.”
I encourage you to read this article.
True points have been made.
Hopefully revolutionary points...
about what is truly attractive.
Tonight we celebrated our country's independence overlooking the Mississippi River.
We watched show with old air jets.
Ate dinner along the river.
AND
watched fireworks over the Mississippi.
There were so many people gathered there to celebrate our country.
It is odd to think that so many of us have nothing in common.
Nothing but our heritage and the place we call "home, sweet, home."
Needless to say, it was a very magical 4th of July.
