And you just put a beautiful picture into my mind of you, your sister, and your mom having chats on your bed or in the kitchen--probably reaching greater heights and deeper thoughts than we managed here on the blog. Aaah, family--its a wonderful thing!<br /><br />Nana--thanks for not only visiting, but also leaving a comment! I am encouraged by everyone who takes the time to write out a comment, and I hope that you'll be back so I can get to know you better!Mikaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07861115573554594526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545442826180448050.post-2805901382155057912011-02-18T07:30:35.979-08:002011-02-18T07:30:35.979-08:00Hello Mikaela!

Is always a blessing to find a blog that is an encouragement to Christian girls. <br /><br />Blessings-<br />nänaNänahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03374536972436829939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545442826180448050.post-86237087420794910942011-02-17T08:37:31.984-08:002011-02-17T08:37:31.984-08:00We, my mother, sister, a friend and I went and saw...We, my mother, sister, a friend and I went and saw that movie and laughed hilariously throughout. However, when it was finished all of us had a nagging thought that it just wasn't quite right. Your insight nailed it right on the head. After discussing it, we also came to the same conclusion you so eloquently wrote above. And yes, while we still did not agree with the portrayal of Flynn and the "attitude" of Rapunzel we did enjoy Maximum and the beautifully well done soundtrack. <br /><br /> It is so wonderful to be able to discuss and get others gifts to help see through the glamour the world puts on a seemingly innocent video. I really do appreciate yours and your sister's posts. My sister and I love reading them and then discussing them with our mother afterwards. It is just another fun way to be together and get built up at the same time.

While I wouldn't recommend it for younger viewers because of Livy's indiscretions (which, however, are very discreetely presented), Ray's selfless love is an example to all. And what a sweet thought from your elder!Mikaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07861115573554594526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545442826180448050.post-25120613321392742132011-02-16T06:43:57.392-08:002011-02-16T06:43:57.392-08:00Speaking of movies and men, have you seen "Th...Speaking of movies and men, have you seen "The Magic of Ordinary Days"? Oh my. I completely melt over Ray. His sweet, Christ-like love for Livy is such a rare thing to see in any product of Hollywood. That movie always reminds me of what one of the elders of our church always says, that if a husband truly loves his wife as Christ loves the church, there is no woman who won't respond to and blossom in that love.Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375090258761893709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545442826180448050.post-56069023332199766562011-02-16T04:45:35.138-08:002011-02-16T04:45:35.138-08:00I enjoyed "Tangled," though did not real...I enjoyed "Tangled," though did not really care for Flynn's character through most of the movie. You shared some good insights, Mikaela. Now, popcorn and "Little Women" are two of my favorites. :)Ruthie H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08300424322263964718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545442826180448050.post-59266249603534592222011-02-15T21:35:26.278-08:002011-02-15T21:35:26.278-08:00Sey--it was interesting to me to compare *Tangled*...Sey--it was interesting to me to compare *Tangled* with the other fairy tales and realize that, while the classic stories certainly aren't model love tales, they do have more model characters. Maximus was hilarious--I still laugh out loud to think of him (for everyone else who hasn't seen the movie, Maximus was a horse who acted exactly like a dog). Thanks so much for the congratulations, too--we have many exciting things in store for this next week, and this next year!<br /><br />Jessica--very true insight. And I did enjoy the first few movies from the *Love Comes Softly* series--the first one especially is heart-rending and challenging in its unique and realistic portrayl of love. The future ones digress, though, in my opinion.

The best movies that I have seen that aren't focused on the aspects you mentioned are the Love Comes Softly series.....they are more realistic for the era. <br />Love your posts, they are great!Jessi @ Life: The Epic Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17257904942790415392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545442826180448050.post-76707255183383491392011-02-15T12:57:01.369-08:002011-02-15T12:57:01.369-08:00I watched the movie and enjoyed it like the other ...I watched the movie and enjoyed it like the other fairy tales but in reality, I know a girl will never a man like Flynn Rider on first glimpse.
