Good night

I have to admit that I struggled with this one. There are so many possible "three" things in the Church! Three Nephites, Three Witnesses and even Pres. Uchdorf's three sisters!

I finally decided on three missionaries. If you ever served in a trio, you know how uncomfortable that can be!

A city on a hill cannot be hid

We had some senior missionaries return to our ward recently. The sister was the medical person for the mission. She said that she not only had stories that were uncomfortable, she had some pretty gross photos as well!

Raise him up in the way he should go

That's exactly how it worked with me!

Maybe I shouldn’t use the past tense.

Let the trumpets blow

Last week in Come, Follow Me we learned about Joshua and the battle of Jericho. This week as we study Judges, we learn about Gideon and his surprise attack at night. Both stories involve the shofar, the trumpets made out of ram's horns. 

That got me to wondering, would I know how to make a trumpet out of a ram's horn? It sounds easy, but it's probably harder than it seems!

Sketchbook: Hair today

It's a little sad when a missionary starts to go bald while out on a mission. But we can still do jokes about it — as long as they don't get past the sketchbook stage!

Judge not. Or go ahead, do it anyway.

The summer movie season officially begins Memorial Day weekend in the United States. The Devil Wears Prada 2 was one of the first out of the gate. That got me to wondering what it would be like if Miranda Priestly met with the missionaries?

Get thee up

Not that I'd ever fall asleep reading stories to my kids! And not that they'd find the most obnoxious way to wake me up!
