Thanks, I'll stay away

Yes, this week is Teacher Appreciation Week.

I've had so many teachers who were huge influences on my life, starting of course with Mr. Beckstrom and Mrs. Beckstrom (my parents were both teachers). Through every level of my education, I've had outstanding teachers who believed in me...and helped me believe in myself.

Here's a big thank you to all of you who are in the teaching profession, and a double serving of thanks to those who were brave enough to be my teachers!

And now, something completely different...

One of my dad's favorite scriptures is from Numbers, when the children of Israel were complaining about having nothing but manna to eat. The Lord promises to send quail, so they can eat "until it come out at your nostrils."

Lesson learned: Never complain about manna.

The last shall be last

I was one of two, so my waits weren't really that long.

It's what's for dinner. And lunch.

It's great to have a companion who knows how to cook. One who doesn't, not so much...

Mormon Cartoonist Arie Van de Graaff has be running a series of cartoons about missionaries and peanut butter if you want more. You know you can't read just one!

Snakes on the plain

Have you guessed by now that we're studying Moses in Sunday School this week?
