13 years ago I wrote about writing for kids. And I said, “whether it’s a song, a poem, or even ebooks for kids, I often find a way to challenge them with their own lingo.” This morning I discovered Lingokids bubbles. I never heard of that before. And I’m still not sure what it’s all about. But, so far, Lingokids bubbles videos seem cute … Read the rest…

Wow. It’s America’s 250th birthday. And I bet there’s a good chance you get to enjoy an awesome fireworks display wherever you live.

Don’t you sometimes feel like telling certain worms (aka: anti-God people) to go liquefy themselves? I bet that’s something they’d never expect you to say. And I bet they wouldn’t become a metamorphosis butterfly. Maybe a metamorphosis wooly moth. I was thinking about how caterpillar can become a metamorphosis butterfly.

And God’s voice, in … Read the rest…
