Lyssa's Log: Pietro Maximoff! Maybe you know him by a different name, Quicksilver? Pietro and his twin sister, Wanda were raised by Django and Marya Maximoff, a gypsy couple. As adolescents Pietro and his sister Wanda discovered that they had peculiar talents. When Django began to steal food to feed his starving family, enraged villagers attacked the gypsy camp. Using his phenomenal speed, Pietro fled from the camp with his sister. Over the next few years, Wanda and Pietro wandered central Europe, living off the land. One day, Wanda accidentally caused a house to burst into flames with her uncontrollable hex powers and the pair was chased by superstitious townspeople. Despite Pietro's attempt to defend her, the twins were soon overpowered and were rescued by Magneto. That's the Marvel comic version of it. However if you've seen Age Of Ultron, they explain their story a bit different. Pietro Maximoff was a genetically enhanced Sokovian citizen who was capable of moving and thinking at superhuman speeds. He was the older twin brother of Wanda Maximoff. Ultron, knowing that the Twins hated Stark, met with them in a Sokovian monastery where Pietro explained how their family was killed by Tony Stark's bombs. Ultron offered them a position by his side and they accepted.That is Pietro Maximoff, a.k.a Quicksilver. My S post will be about Wanda, who later earns the title "Scarlet Witch". Comment below about which Marvel character is your favorite and why. Don't forget to mention which movie they were in. Peace Out!

Lyssa's Log: Time for E!  Enemies! We all have enemies, some more than others, the thing is controlling your anger that burns for them. 1 John 19 "I will love everyone, for HE first loved me". We need to control our anger, it need not burn for revenge, rather cool for love. I do not have any enemies because I have learned to forgive them. We've all said this at least once. But, how many times was it true? How many of us can say that we would lay down our lives for our "enemy"?  God says love your enemies. Ever heard the saying "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer"? Its because we're suppose to forgive them, and love them, pray for them and the people they've hurt. Our enemies are not our enemies, but simply friends who have been confused. So, there's no need to curse them or condemn them. And think about it, that really isn't our place to be or job to do anyway is it? No, its His, and we need to let Him do it instead of getting in the way. Remember, love your enemies, don't try to take over what He's already doing. Peace Out!
