In memory of Steve Harry

Steve passed away last week, so I thought it only fitting to run this -- with the corrected caption -- in his memory.

Sustained

Post script: Since this incident, Christi has added two more children, bringing the total to nine!
For the Gee Whiz File: Don't tell Ben, but Sam has a cameo in this one!

Stuffed with straw

On an interesting historical note (in our family, at least), the scarecrow bears an eerily uncanny resemblance to some bad guys Ben invented when he was about four, the Hay Men. I'll have to dig one up and post it.

Monday sketchbook: ri-i-i-i-ght.

Gee whiz fact: In the town of Cheney, Wash., apparently their sign crews couldn't find a dictionary. As you approach the cemetery from the east, there are two directional signs. One is spelled "cemetary" and the other is spelled "cemetery." I guess that way they know they have at least one of them right!

General Conference enhancement tips

Thanks to our friends over at Zarahemla Times for this special guest appearance to offer this important reminder for getting the most out of conference...STAY AWAKE!
Today also marks the debut of my new cartoon blog, Good Heavens. There have been a few scattered appearances of Good Heavens on this blog, but I heard from readers that it was a little hard to follow in this format. The plan right now is to publish Good Heavens on Sundays. They'll still show up on this blog from time to time as well.
And, in case you're wondering, Zarahemla Times updates on Fridays.
Thanks!

General Conference enhancement tips

*By way of explanation to my non-LDS friends, General Conference consists of two general two-hour meetings on Saturday and a special meeting for priesthood holders in the evening. There's a two-hour break between each session -- perfect timing for a barbecue...and, as my father-in-law says, a chance to catch up on the game scores! You can learn more about General Conference here.

General Conference enhancement tips

*Note for my non-LDS friends: General Authorities are what we call the leadership of the Church. If you really want to know more, try this link.
*Second note for anyone who cares: I kind of know all three of these guys. Elder Kikuchi borrowed some aspirin from me when he was making a mission visit to Korea; Elder Walker is a first cousin once removed, and Elder Zwick used to be my boss at the Utah Department of Transportation.

General Conference enhancement tips

Note to my non-LDS friends: You can use a variation of this to keep you awake in staff meetings, too!

Conference time!

This weekend, millions of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints around the world will turn their tents (or TVs or laptops or radios or what have you) toward the temple as we meet for the 178th Semiannual Conference to hear the word.
As a kid, I looked forward to conference as a time to get together with family. Grandma Erickson would cook up a great meal, and after eating we’d mess around with the Walker and Erickson cousins between sessions. Sometimes we’d take a drive in the canyon and look at the glowing leaves while we listened to the talks as they were broadcast on KSL radio. Those were good times and great memories.
Nowadays, I still look forward to conference, but for different reasons: information, inspiration, rejuvenation…and like our friends the Bybees say, not only can you have “church on TV,” you can go to church in your pajamas!
With all that in mind, these next few days on the blog I’ll have (somewhat) helpful tips to help enhance the conference experience. They should be fun.
Note: For my non-LDS friends, it can still be fun to get a glimpse of our quirks. I’ll have links to help explain stuff…and I know these really nice young men who would be happy to explain things in more detail! And we’ll be back to our regular programming next Monday.
This is what the Church Web site has to say about General Conference
Oh, yeah. This is another one of our "Follow the Prophet" bookmarks, King Benjamin.
