Devotion

  Cosy Season is approaching!

 

  I don't normally watch children's programs unless one of my children happen to be watching it. This particular program is slightly above their age range, but it peaked my interest as a story about an Autistic girl with a cast of Autistic actresses. I just finished season one and loved it. The story follows a girl who campaigns for people accused of witch craft to be remembered. Please note as a follower of Jesus I don't believe in witch craft, but also as a follower of Jesus I don't believe witch hunts are a true reflection of Jesus' heart and message. Also of note in this story and in most those accused of witch craft were just different. It turns out that one of the characters Addie (the leading girl) wants to memorialise is just Autistic like the leading girl, like me.

Dwight D. Eisenhower          "The Japanese had, in fact, already sued  for peace. The atomic bomb played no decisive part, from a purely  military point of view, in the defeat of Japan.  — Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz        "The atomic bomb had nothing to do with the end of the war at all."  — Major General Curtis LeMay        "The first atomic bomb was an unnecessary experiment … It was a  mistake to ever drop it … [the scientists] had this toy and they wanted  to try it out, so they dropped it …" — Fleet Admiral William Halsey, Jr       "We knew the world would not be the same.
