Sketchbook: In his own tongue

Editor's note: I'm taking a bit of a vacation, so I'll be running some reruns for the next little while.

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?

Par for the course

Another from the Disney collection. Has this ever happened to you?

You know how the scriptures say that the Lord will speak to you in the language that you understand? Sometimes it speaks golf.

Bill Amend, the creator of Fox Trot, once observed that in the spring and summer, cartoonists write a lot of gags about golf. The reason for this, he said, is because so many cartoonists make so much money that they spend all their time on the golf course.

I, for one, am out of that loop. But I do have a couple of golf gags. Here's one.


I bring this up because I went to the driving range a couple of weeks ago with my brother-in-law. He had trouble spotting his hits, more on account of his eyesight -- we had the yellow golf balls and the course was a lovely green. On the other hand, I had no trouble at all finding mine... most weren't much more than 20 or 30 yards away!

Monday sketchbook: Important safety tip

I know driving laws vary from state to state, and here in Oregon it's illegal to use a cell phone and drive (unless it's hands-free). So imagine my surprise when driving through Denver last week when the woman in the next lane over was texting with both hands while aiming her vehicle at freeway speeds!

Texting and driving: don't do it!
