I&#8217;d like to apologize for the brief lapse in content!  The posts I&#8217;ve been working on have been complex, and I want to make sure I take the time to get them right.<\/p>\n<p>That said, I&#8217;ve been failing at my goal and promise of providing some content every week.  In an effort to make up for that, I decided to finish up a post that I&#8217;ve been thinking about for a while, and whose time in the sun has finally come.<\/p>\n<p><p><img  style='float:right'  class='lems-mtg-cardimg' src='http:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/Handlers\/Image.ashx?size=small&type=card&name=Words of Wilding'><\/p>Like many of you, I believe strongly in the power of words.  To that end, I read frequently (although not as much as I would like!).  I&#8217;m especially fortunate to have a wide network of friends who share awesome articles on social media.  I often find myself wanting to talk more about these articles &#8212; but there&#8217;s only so much time in the day.  Even so, I think there&#8217;s value in sharing some of the posts that have resonated with me most strongly, and that&#8217;s the focus of today&#8217;s Bearz Repeating.<\/p>\n<p>So without further ado, here are some of the articles I&#8217;ve enjoyed recently!  They span the gamut from ideas about management to thoughts on your mindset, from ruminations on Standard to reflections on the Judge Program as a whole.  I hope you get as much (or more) from them as I have.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/mtgjudge\/comments\/3r6c4v\/ama_with_aaron_hamer_interim_judge_manager\/\">Ask Me Anything with Aaron Hamer, Interim Judge Manager<\/a> &#8212; An &#8220;Ask Me Anything&#8221; (or AMA) is basically an interview where anyone can ask questions!
