Riddles – Omer Redden

Put Me In The Zoo

When my kids were younger, I read them a bedtime story from Robert Lopshire called, Put Me In The Zoo. It’s about this big gangly creature who wants to live in the zoo. Unfortunately, the zoo keepers aren’t keen on him. But a couple of kids take notice of him, and he begins to doContinue reading “Put Me In The Zoo”

Words – Where Do They Go?

Jason Mraz has a lyric in which he wonders where all of our words go. “Do they bend, do they break, over the flight that they take, and come back together again, with a whole new meaning and a brand new sense, completely unrelated to the one I sent?” I have been wondering similar thingsContinue reading “Words – Where Do They Go?”

Work. Relax. Repeat.

I think God made us to operate on cycles. One of these cycles is work, relax, repeat. For example, when using a computer, it’s best to take brief breaks from the screen. Every 10 minutes, look 10 feet away, for 10 seconds. For every hour of sitting, do five minutes of walking. For every sixContinue reading “Work. Relax. Repeat.”
