The New Wolf Man Was Worth It, review

Yeah yeah, I know. Everyone had something terrible to say about this movie but I happen to like it. My husband accuses me of liking every movie that I watch but that is not true. I have found several I do not like that much.

 

I found Wolfman insightful and very well done. It was not your usual just turning into a werewolf type of movie. The story was given thought and the characters came to life. You could actually feel for the man who got bit and his deeds.

Fiction – I'm told it's fantasy, but I see fantasy as including fairies and vampires and other such fantastical creatures. Though my story contains some extra-human peoples, they come by their abilities through natural selection and could, one day, maybe, exist.

Setterfield's First: The Thirteenth Tale

This is Setterfield's first book. Powerful and descriptive with emotions and stealth. An  exciting romp and relaxing at other times, at the same time. A good intrigue and suspense.

"There is something about words. In expert hands, manipulated deftly, they take you prisoner."

Powerful writing, powerful words in the hands of a wonderful manipulator of words. She captivated my heart with the way she writes not only what she wrote. Big cheers!

In this story a woman is asked to come and be a...

Prepare Prepositions Purposely Proposing Prospect

Prepositions like adverbs and similes are dangerous and could be tedious. Be of great care when utilizing them when writing by imagination lest they get cumbersome.

Intercession Or Interference

When you stand in the gap of intercession, you stand for someone in the gaping hole between them and the Lord. Is that what you do really? Do you stand in the gap for that person or do you stand in judgement against them and God?

Many people complain that God does not answer their prayer yet do not take the time to find out where their heart is at with those prayers. When god gives you discernment His intention was not for you to be the critic of the day. The intention for that knowledge is...

Beet Salad Chie Sonia with Burghul

Beets are not a favorite food for many people but try this recipe and see what you think. Write me back if you like it. I would love to hear from you.

If you wish to try fresh beets, then cut off the leaves and keep short stem. Do not bruise skin. Boil then remove skin when it cools.

Brain Surgery Does It End Life

When I was given this book by a friend, I was not sure what to expect. Then as I opened the pages and turned one page after the other, unable to stop, I found myself riveted by the characters that are involved in the life of the heroine.
As she suffers through painful procedures, she sees life differently and perceives people even more so. She is enlightened by the harshness of people and life. Yet the kindness of others keep her faith rolling towards healing emotionally and spiritually.
