Sadness



Everybody feels sad. A lot of things can make me feel blue. Some of it’s silly things, like watching a sad preview for a movie, or listening to a touching audio-book. Sometimes reading stories can make me cry, especially if someone dies at the end of the story, after you’ve become attached to them.  Somebody else: “Why are you crying; it’s just a made-up character!” Me:  “You weren’t there!!!” I often feel sad if I’m lonely. It can be as simple as I’m the only one in the house, to something deep, like I miss a love one who’s died. But the good news is that even when we’re feeling sad, we can trust that God loves us and that He comforts us, like a father. Even though I might feel lonely or I might cry at some story character, I know that God loves me.   Sadness can be used to bring me closer to God. Oh, wait! Now I’m thinking about Inside Out, and how Riley was crying with her parents because of Sadness, and it was so sad! (Excuse the tears) Gotta go! I’ve got Inside Out to watch!

No Strings Attatched

"I've got no strings to hold me down, to make me fret, to make me frown!" sang little Pinocchio as he danced glibly around the stage, string-less and worry-less, as the other puppets look sadly on, connected by strings like true marionettes. Maybe you recognize this scene from the 1945 Disney Pinocchio movie. For some reason, that made me think about our strings. I think we pride ourselves to be like Pinocchio: chipper, happy, and totally independent (although not quite as wooden.) Well, in reality, we are totally dependent on God. Our talents, our future, our past, our present, and our circumstances are all in the hand's of God. Sure, our decisions change things, but God's in control; nothing we do happens without Him planning it. Good grief, we don't even control our body! You can't tell your cells to burn glucose to give you energy, or your heart to beat, or your stomach juices to digest the food. (Say it with me, eww . Very good.) But God looks after u...

An Ode to My iPod: Part 2

iPod, you were in your plastic baggy I stared at you as I cleaned the kitchen How broken you were! The rice could not fix you, it seemed A friend suggested I get a new one Replace you, dear iPod? I had no other choice! You've been with me through a lot, dear iPod Through my first couple basketball games Through that terrible thunderstorm I listened to you during my sad times I played you when I was happy Your music reminded me of good memories Why, wonderful iPod, why did I let you get wet? It was such an innocent thunderstorm I held you as I listened to your song But was it for the last time? I listened to you as we drove long miles Your ability to store music astounds me So many memories are in those songs! My little iPod, you played as we grouted the porch You were beside me in the late nights when I couldn't sleep You lie on my pillow, supplying me with audio as I draw Dear little iPod, your music kept me running I guess I shall have to say good-bye,...

Riddle My Timbers

Hi, Page Turner here. I hope I can stump you with this riddle. Enjoy! Riddle: Imagine you are in remote territory in Alaska, in a small cabin. Your cabin is of Spartan design, with nothing but  three chairs, a table, a bed, and a junk drawer. A huge blizzard has hit a few weeks ago, and you have been completely snowed in your cabin. The snow reaches so high outside that it is starting to fall into your chimney, and you have long run out of food and firewood. After careful conservation, your generator has lasted this long, but now it just died and the temperature of your cabin has dropped considerably over the last few hours. Your legs, arms, and nose are beginning to go numb, and your hands are beginning to shake. You begin to become dizzy, and you feel to tired to get up from the chair you are sitting in. Suddenly, you hear howling, muffled and far away. Although it stays muffled, it begins to get closer. Snows suddenly starts to crumble and fall into your empty fi...
