Looking for a sign

One step at a time

We talked with some of the Young Women recently about setting scripture study goals for the new year. One of the tips was to celebrate successes — you've got to take 'em where they come!

Goals and aspirations

There are some times as I read the Book of Mormon that I can see why Laman and Lemuel were often cheesed off at Nephi. Anyone who has had a little brother knows that they can be obnoxious, tattle tales and showoffs. I'm pretty sure these two guys felt that way about Nephi!

Sketchbook: A different force is strong with these ones

I sketched this out over Christmas break thinking that it would make a cute cartoon.

Then a few days ago we had the missionaries over for dinner, and the conversation turned to "The Force Awakens." The elders said that they were trying to avoid spoilers. It worked well for a couple of days — until they ran into one of the Young Men in the ward who told them all about the movie! After that, I thought it wasn't fair to them to finish up this cartoon...so it's a sketchbook instead!

Be of service to your missionaries: Don't tell them spoilers!

Stocking the shelves

There are some things that are easy to quantify in order to stock up for emergency preparedness. You can estimate, for example, a gallon of water per day for each person. Knowing how many diapers to store — and what size — is a little more difficult to guess.

The parable of the tree

Or in our neighborhood, the Scouts come and take them away.

If only it were that easy...!

I know after a week of scout camp I'm pretty stiff and sore and cranky... How many years did they spend dwelling in tents?
