Darth Vader and Captain America Adventure Episode 2


Vader and Cap started out on their trip early the next morning. Vader decided that he since he was a professional pilot that he has better do the driving.


Cap got ready to do the navigating. 



At the first rest stop Vader got some Doritos. 



Vader and Cap ate the bag for lunch.


But then the trouble started. Vader was unaware that Cap had gotten out to throw the empty chip bag away, so he started the car and left. 


Cap saw that Vader had left and got out his phone to call him but Vader (very busy driving) didn't answer.


Cap had to hitch a ride with some people heading in the same direction. 


But while Cap was finding out that the people he was with were actually agents of Hydra and trying to find a way to get away from them, Vader has realized that Cap was no longer with him (and since Cap wasn't answering his phone) tried to think of an alternate plan. 


Vader decided to eat dinner and go to the condo where he and Cap had planed on going.




Meanwhile Cap was trying to get some food out of the Hydra agent's cooler undetected. 




How will Cap and Vader met back up? More episodes to come. =D

Thief of Glory by Sigmund Brouwer

This is a book review written by my Mom =D 


Because of my interest in WWII history, was glad to find a new book with an unusual story to tell. Thief of Glory by Sigmund Brouwer was written by a man whose father spent time as a child in a slave labor camp in Indonesia during WWII. The novel is not a biography, but the truths of camp life are portrayed from account of people who were also prisoners of the Japanese.
There is so much evil in the story, sometimes it is hard to bear. The story of two mothers driven to drastic actions in order to protect their children is heartrending. Both mothers make sinful choices, yet it is heard to condemn them. They took the actions as they felt were the only hope in a world gone mad.
The narrator of the story is a young boy, but ends the book as a young man looking back with adult eyes of that time. The novel explores many relationships, parent and child, brothers, men and women, friendships and enemies. These relationships are complicated because of the war. There is great bravery, true friendships and long lasting love. But there are scars from deep wounds also.

The book closes by saying that against any horror, love and hope are what truly matter. Yet I closed the paged with a sense of despair. I did not feel the love and hope that come from Jesus Christ. 

If you are interested in this book you can read the 1st chapter HERE


I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.

Book Review on The Cloak of the Light

I have read all of Chuck Black’s Arrethtrae books and so I knew I was probably going to enjoy his Wars of the Realm series…But I did not expect to like it as much as I do =D



The first book in the series, The Cloak of the Light, begins with the hero, Drew, as a twelve year old boy at his father’s funeral. His father’s best friend, Jake Blanchard, to fulfill a promise he had made Drew’s father, started to check on Drew and his mother and help them out when they needed it. After all their affairs were in order, Drew and his mother moved to South Carolina, to live with her mother. After that Jake took Drew on the first of many camping trips. Jake began to become a father figure in Drew’s life.

Fast forward a few years and we find Drew and his mother in Rivercrest, Kansas. He is attending the high school and playing football, a game he loves. There he meets the people that are going to change his life forever, Benjamin Barg and Sydney Carlyle. Benjamin is the official geek of the school while Sydney is a mysterious girl who only appears in one class. Drew and Ben become best friends after Drew helps Ben out of some trouble. And while Sydney is friendly, she doesn’t encourage Drew’s attentions to her. He later finds out she is a Christian, and while Drew doesn’t deny the existence of a god, he doesn’t believe in a God who loves the people of the earth. Later they both encourage Drew to continue high School and go to college after Drew is involved in a tragic accident which makes him unable to participate in the school’s football program.

At college Drew and Sydney go on a “date” where she makes it clear that because she is a Christian and he is not she cannot have a close relationship with him. Not long after that Ben asks Drew for help with the LASOK, a machine that accelerates light. But while they are experimenting with it there is an explosion that leaves Drew blind. After he recovers he tells Ben that right before the explosion he saw a man, that he could only see though the lens of the LASOK, in the room with him and Ben. Ben tells Drew he is leaving, and a few days later Drew hears Ben has disappeared.

Several months later Drew’s sight miraculously returns. As a result of the accident all five of his senses were heightened, giving him abilities beyond the normal man, including the ability to see the invaders. They are beings, which are not if this world, but who have a strong influence on it. Yet Ben is gone. And now Drew must try and find him so they can rebuild the LASOK and figure out a way to fight these invaders.

There was really only one part in the book that I had a problem with. And it was how Sydney responded to Drew’s attentions….She did pretty well until they met in college and Drew wanted to date her. She had told him in high school that she didn’t date. But she told him that if he would come to a “get-together” that she was having at her place then she would go out to coffee with him the next day…but the “get-together” was actually a Bible study.

Personally I think it was a great idea for her to invite him to the Bible study so that he could hear what she believed and why, but she should have told him the truth.  Also, she said she wouldn’t date…and then she met him in the coffee shop…but then kept on saying that it wasn’t a date…which it was…so I’m not sure of the author’s intentions in having her deny it.


Over all, I found The Cloak of the Light a very interesting book. I think Chuck Black did a good job with developing the characters and I really liked how he portrayed spiritual warfare, even having a little section in the back of the book on each chapter and what he was portraying and why, I found that very interesting and totally worth taking the time to read. It is a bit slow at the beginning, and it took a while for the story to really progress but even then it kept me on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t put it down.


Thanks for reading and please leave a comment with your thoughts! =D
