Sketchbook: For our day

There are a LOT of podcasts about the scriptures and about the Church. Some of them are really good. Others? Well, they run the spectrum. The thing to keep in mind, in my humble opinion, is that podcasts can make a good supplement to scripture study. But nothing beats being in the scriptures yourself.

That's my soapbox for the week!
 

And it's time for a five-minute break!

Some days it does seem a little intense at the MTC. Our teachers were always good about sensing when we needed a break or had to blow off a little steam.

I don't remember doing much in the way of arts and crafts in the MTC. That came later, in the field.
 

Likened unto us? You bet!

Wait until you hear about the families in the Book of Mormon! It's almost like the scriptures were written for dysfunctional families. And if you think that one family in your ward really is perfect, well — guess again!
 

Matching tie and handkerchief

There are a lot of things to learn from the story of Joseph and the coat of many colors. Fashion is probably the least important of those lessons.
 

Messin' around

One more pottage gag before we move on!

When I was going to school, one of the best pizza places in town was right across the street from office where I worked for my campus job. I ate there nearly every day. Later on, I lived right next door to it. I'll tell you what — I'd take a pepperoni and pineapple over a bowl of beans any day!
 

Sketchbook: All natural

I think I've seen the "natural stupidity" joke elsewhere, but it feels like it fits well in a missionary setting. If you knew some of my companions, you might agree!
 

A wellspring

In the Bible, a lot of good things happen when people visit wells. It's a consistent theme in both the Old and the New Testaments. 

Interestingly, to me anyway, this is the second cartoon I've made about the courtship of Isaac. They both include drinking fountains at school.
