I'm trying to liken!

It's like that old saying, "There's a Mothers Day and and Fathers Day, why isn't there a Children's Day?"

The answer? "Every day is Children's Day!"
 

Sketchbook: Some assembly required

I can imagine Aaron standing by, watching the people making an idol. But two things irritated him. One, that they were making an idol, and two, they were doing it wrong — and that drove him nuts! He stepped in to fix it because they were messing it up. At least that's how I imagine it; I can't imagine Aaron volunteering to make a god after all the experiences he'd had with Moses.
 

But we have our permission slips!

Long walks almost every day. Hot, dry desert. Limited food and water resources. I've chaperoned field trips where the kids griped if they had to be on the bus for a whole hour! I can't imagine what it was like for Moses!

I struggled with how to describe the trip: worst? best? longest? most boring? I think I made the right choice in the end. Forty years is a long field trip!
 

Another milestone

Wow. I just reached the 6,000th post on this site! A few of them have even been funny!

Thank you for coming along on this ride. I hope there are many more to come!

*I have a tradition of running my first published cartoon when I reach significant milestones. Enjoy!

 

Some days are like that

I've seen kids fall asleep in nursery, and I've seen tired teachers, but I've never seen a kid leave sharing time who wasn't full of energy!
 

It's a mystery

My guess is they got a deal on the day-old stuff.

I love that the literal definition of manna derives from man hu, which means, "What is it?" Seems like the perfect food for the school cafeteria, the precursor of mystery meat.
 

Sketchbook: That stinks

Scatalogical humor has no place on this website, thank you very much.

Maybe he should have been sitting on a stool in the corner a la Dennis the Menace. But I liked the idea of bubbles in the tub.

And this is as far as this sketchbook is ever going.
 

Those Red Sea moments

My version is trying to make it across the bridge to home during rush hour. Some days it feels impossible!
 

Was that to go?

Hahaha.

I've said it before, and I'll likely say it again: I hope those old prophets have a sense of humor!

 

One more verse

 

Morning has broken

We've all had — or been — that companion.
 

Sketchbook: In the court of Pharaoh

Although this does correspond with this week's Come, Follow Me, it's easy to understand why this stayed in the sketchbook.

The Resurrection

"And when she had thus said, she turned herself back and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

"Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou has laid him, and I will take him away.

"Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

"Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God."

Happy Easter!

General Conference: Saturday Morning sketch notes

 

Holy Saturday

"The man went unto Pilate and begged the body of Jesus.

"And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein man never before was laid.

"And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on."

 

The Crucifixion

"And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

"And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

"And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into they hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost." 

Gethsemane

"Then said he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

"And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt."

 

Teaching His Disciples

 "Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

"For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me doing; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;

"Naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

"Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

"When was we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
