Cake Server
Feb

2014
This is what’s called a cake server.
It cuts the cake and puts the slice on your plate.
If you’re hungry, or if it’s a small cake, you could cut the cake in half and get a big piece.
But that’s only part of the job – you also need something to get the cake from the plate to your mouth.
This is what’s called a fork.
It finishes the job.
To get cake from the pan/tray to your mouth, you need two utensils – a server and a fork.
I propose this: combine a fork with a cake server.
Then you could get that very large slice of cake and consume it, while using only one piece of cutlery.
In other words, it lets you halve your cake and eat it too.
Then you shall take fine flour and bake twelve cakes with it; two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake.
Leviticus 24:5

Fowl Play

For those of you not familiar with the story of the indirect conversation between Richard Sherman and Peyton Manning, please read this article about how Peyton Manning throws ducks.
As you may have heard, Peyton Manning admitted he throws ducks. I found it odd there was no footage of this, so I went about my blogging business and got some footage.
It could use some more frames, to make the animation smoother, but I don’t have that much free time. Someone else can improve it.
When He rained meat upon them like the dust,
Even winged fowl like the sand of the seas,

Bedroom Designs

We hope to move into a new house soon. Inspired by some things on the internet, I started sketching proposals for arrangements of the boys’ bedrooms.
Here are 4 of them.
Sunken Bed
The purpose of this is to prevent injuries for the child who rolls out of bed often. The raised floor can be used for extra storage, with lids to access the space.

Genre Football

Now that the NFL is about done for the year, all those fantasy football leagues are but a memory.
I have not participated in any fantasy football leagues, but I think I should have, because fantasy is one of my favorite literary genres. Septimus Heap, Percy Jackson, Narnia, etc.
And that got me to thinking – why are none of the other literary genres involved?
We have fantasy football:
Why not sci-fi football?
