The other day someone said to me, “You can go bother…er…spend time with someone else for a while. That would be just great.” I take that as a compliment, because they meant I can both spend time with and do great things for someone. That’s what I think they meant. 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...

Let’s talk about cloaks. Yes, cloaks. You know, those long-and-dramatic-yet-epically-useful creations of heavy fabric. I’m here to tell you that cloaks are awesome. “Why so awesome?” you may ask. Go ahead and ask…I’ll wait. I’ve waited long enough. Let me just go ahead and tell you why. Cloaks are awesome because they are. Imagine this: You walk into a room. No, scratch that—you glide into a room. Your cloak billows behind you and you...

Do you ever find yourself thinking about how tired you are? I do. In fact, I think about it a lot. Maybe too much. In fact, I realized something the other day, and maybe you’ve realized it yourself: The more you think about being tired, the more tired you become.  In fact, I wholeheartedly believe that tiredness begets tiredness. (And I use the word “begets” because I just don’t get to use it often enough, plus it sounds like...

Fhfyrd here. Kearth let me jump in with thoughts about fire safety. What a great guy he is…even if he does say so himself. As I comment on fire safety, Kearth asked me to remind you of his previously mentioned WireFire (Wi-Fi) invention. There you go—consider yourself reminded.  I also want to note that when following the advice you are about to read, make sure an adult is nearby you and the fire, and paying attention. It is...
