Another point of view

Mark Twain may have called the Book of Mormon "...chloroform in print," but that's nothing compared to Moby Dick.

Travel plans?

This is one of my favorites from four years ago. I’m having technical difficulties, so I may be doing reruns for a little while.

I did liken them unto us

If that's the criteria, a lot of us can related to Nephi!

Sketchbook: Veggie tree

A white vegetable that is delicious above all other vegetables? Folks from Idaho would say that was a potato.

It was a dark and stormy night in the spring of 1820...

This begs so many questions! Is Woodstock his junior companion? Is there a special Beagle-speaking mission he was called to? What about that stupid cat next door?

It's fairly well-known that Schulz's daughter Amy is a member of the Church. Her mission inspired some of Linus' adventures as he shared his belief in the Great Pumpkin. And if Amy was a member, why not Snoopy?

Found 'em!

It's been a LONG time since I've done anything with Zarahemla Times. But as I've been pondering this first week's contents of our Come, Follow Me study, I keep thinking back to some of my old cartoons.

In 1 Nephi 5:22, it says that it's "...wisdom in the Lord that we should carry them (the scriptures) with us as we journeyed in the wilderness..." I don't know how it is in your family, but not too many years ago we were like these guys. Searching the scriptures meant trying to find them. Now we're able to carry a whole church library on our phones in our pockets. We carry them with us. 

It seems significant to me that as Nephi is writing to our day that he would include that emphasis. Maybe it is important for us to carry them with us. Always.
