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!
 

Bringing down the house

As I was finishing this up, I had a flash of insight that this could have been more effective if it was elementary-aged kids. Instead of smooth jazz, they would have said, "I'll bet Joshua's army got to play something more exciting than Hot Cross Buns!"

Yet I still wonder whether the walls of Jericho would have come tumbling down to Kenny G or Chuck Mangione?
 

It's going down

This is one of my favorite Old Testament cartoons. 
 

Sketchbook: Hungry?

I like the idea of these missionary heads gobbling up everything in sight. But when I tried to move it beyond the sketchbook, it looked a little gruesome!
 

Abby

Maybe I spent too much time as a youth listening to the soundtracks of My Turn on Earth and Saturday's Warrior at full volume. But whatever the reason, my hearing isn't exactly what it used to be. So when the missionaries challenged us to share the gospel, as Pres. Uchtdorf says, "in normal and natural ways" somehow I heard it as "normal unnatural ways!"

I tried to save this idea for October, but I couldn't wait. Naturally.
 

Going deep

These kinds of hypothetical discussions are sometimes fun to have. Personally I think the missionaries would think they struck gold if they knocked into Bluey's family. Hello Kitty might be a little too aloof to be interested beyond a few discussions, IMHO.

But what I'd really like to see? Muffin in the nursery
 

Emergency repair kit

This should come with a warning that missionary moms should not read this one. However, I can't tell you the number of times as a missionary that I made emergency repairs using tape of one kind or another. Staples can work in a pinch, but they can also be hazardous in their own right.
 

C'est parfait

I think this is going to be my new motto.
 

Sketchbook: Never can say goodbye

If there's a recurring theme in the books of Moses, it's the notion that people a resistant to change. Nobody really wants to leave Egypt!
 

Would you like a towel with that? Or perhaps a firehose?

It could be worse. It could include giants and grasshoppers!
 

That's just super!

Day two.

Honestly, all I did for this one was draw what's in my wife's closet.
 

A voice of warning unto the family

I'm sick today, so I'm rerunning this one from last year. It's a good reminder.
 

By the Numbers

I suppose it all depends on how you define "story problems." Moses had a lot he was dealing with!
 

Sketchbook: May the Fourth

Luke often reminds me of an earnest, new missionary, fresh from the MTC. He goes barging in with great intent, but not much of a plan.

Han, on the other hand, is a senior companion who is two transfers away from going home.

Happy Star Wars Day!
 

Purple and scarlet and fine twined linen

Somehow I think the Lord's instructions would be a lot easier to follow than some of those DIY kits to make stuff.
