The Dream of You

Braving the Wilderness

As the author builds his case against slave-holder religion, he argues that when we accept without question the religious traditions handed down to us, we often through ignorance make things worse. In other words, there is a white American “Christian” culture that blinds us to what is happening in the world around us. When we are blinded by racism, we limit the gospel to changing individual hearts or the culture of families. Jesus came to change more than that. He came to change the world (p. 132).

I knew Simple Joys was going to be a good read when I laughed out loud while reading the INTRODUCTION! The stories are genuinely hilarious and thought-provoking.In her first book Laugh It Up! Candace Payne offered us a peek at the woman behind the mask: the Chewbacca mask. The woman who belly laughed for three minutes straight on a now-viral Facebook Live video with such contagious joy that the world laughed with her not at her. She shared the story behind her viral video and how she grew into a woman who was not only comfortable in her own skin but also undeterred by what others thought about her.In her new book, Simple Joys: Discovering Wonder in the Everyday , the author shares even more events from her life to demonstrate how each of us can mine for joy in our own everyday experiences. From “taco sweats” and taffeta to an icy driveway and hot coffee, this gifted author will have you laughing out loud one moment and deeply reflecting on complex situations in your own life the next.Oh, the Places She Went!Candace is a masterful storyteller who recounts her experiences with such vivid detail, it makes you feel like you were right there with her at the roadside café in Zambia squirting ketchup onto her fries or sitting next to her in the back seat of the car as her father walked out of the house with his hot cup of coffee on a freezing cold morning.Don’t be fooled. Simple Joys is not a book that you read, put down, and forget about. It’s one that makes you chuckle, wince, roll your eyes, examine your own life, and mine for nuggets of joy even in difficult times.

MOVIE REVIEW: “LITTLE WOMEN” BY PINNACLE PEAK FILMSI’ve never read Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. Don’t judge me. I rarely read fiction. It’s not that I don’t like it: It’s just that I never developed a taste for it. Kinda like sushi. Don’t judge me for that either..When I was given the opportunity to screen this new movie based on an old novel, I asked my friends if they’d be interested in seeing it, too. Since so many of them said yes, I decided to throw my hat into the ring and write a review..The main characters are four sisters who have stereotypically different personality types and completely different dreams for their lives. The supporting cast does an amazing job of helping us see the girls not only for who they are at the moment but who they will become as the story develops..The strong relationships between the sisters reminded me a lot of my own childhood: the love/hate relationship you have with those who know you sometimes better than you know yourself..
