Sketchbook: The best part of waking up

Our next speaker...
It would be amazing to hear that kind of thing in General Conference: university president, world-renown surgeon, fighter pilot and airline executive, educator, animator, editor, scientist. Instead we get a name and title and what quorum or organization the speaker is a member of. That's kind of cool.
I like how that extends to local congregations as well. We're all just referred to as sister or brother. And that's all we need to know.

Here it is still August and it seems like we're in the only school district that hasn't started for the year. What's up with that? They used to wait until after Labor Day!

It's elemental
We've been getting our fair share of that fervent heat in our neck of the woods. How are things where you are?

Sketchbook: In his own tongue
As we're reading Paul's epistles, I'm reminded of how it's promised that each will hear the gospel in his own tongue — which doesn't always mean language. It means they'll hear it in a way they can understand. I like how this sketch works with that message on multiple levels. Maybe it should move beyond the sketchbook?

The heat is on
It was 88 degrees when I got up this morning. By noon it was over 100. I'm thankful that the church building has air conditioning!

Go ye therefore
Have you had the experience of reading the newspaper comics and noticing that some of the gags have similar themes? It happens more frequently than you might expect. So it strikes me as funny when the Ward Cartoonist and I have cartoons that are similar in subject matter that run around the same time. It occurred with gags about square dancing on trek (his and mine). It just so happens that a couple of days ago, he ran one about bad smells — not a topic often covered in the scriptures or at church. The subjects are different, but the theme of stink is crucial to the gag. It's an odd phenomenon.
Now that I've mentioned it, you'll probably see it happening all the time now. You're welcome!

Not the Sketchbook: Days of '46
I have a friend who was vacationing with her family in Utah one July. They pulled off onto the 600 South exit in Salt Lake City — and found themselves smack in the middle of the Days of '47 Parade melee. Who knew that July 24 was anything?
Have a safe and happy Pioneer Day wherever you are!
