Kearth’s Korner

Rol here. You know, it’s important to start your day off in a good direction. One of the best ways to do that is to pray before you get out of bed. And two quick prayers I recommend to start things in motion are: God, what can I do for you? Please help me to be a blessing to someone today. Now, the answer to the first prayer may actually be the second prayer, so let’s focus on that. Being a blessing to someone each day can mean many...

I feel thwarted. Do you ever feel thwarted? I feel thwarted. So thwarted. Last week, I went to the marketplace merchants and tried to get them to make every Saturday a “Kearth is the Best, He’s Our Guest Day,” and they would give me food and more food (I like food) on that day each week—as much as I want. They chuckled and said, “Not gonna happen, Kearth.” My sincere efforts were thwarted. Yesterday, I went to the town council and...

Flibbertigibbet. That’s all I have to say, really. I think that’s all I have to say. How can I say anything else? Why would I say anything else? What else can I say? What else would I say? What else?

Maybe they said it differently than I would, but I know what they were trying to say, even if they don’t speak quite as ultra-eloquently-like and non-unclearly as I do. When...

Have you ever had a cold? I mean, really had a cold? Of course you have. Well, at least, you probably have. Most of us have, if not all. I think. I’m pretty sure of it. Yes. Who knows…you may even have one now. If so, so sorry to hear that. As I write this, I have a cold. An unpleasant, annoying, frustratingly rip-roaring cold. The fact of the matter is that I dot a toad and I’m all tuffed up (translation, if absolutely necessary: “I...

Rol here. I’ve been thinking about God a lot this week. I’ve been thinking about how good God is. How very good. And I’ve been thinking about how I oftentimes don’t truly appreciate how good God is. I don’t. I know I should, and I try, but I get distracted. By me. I think about me, I focus on me, I seem to care more about me me me. I admit it—it’s the truth, and it’s something I want to change. There are so many ways I can appreciate...
