Quickened

Every now and then, there's a gem that comes across in a sacrament meeting talk that begs to be shared. This is one such gem, at least according to mom.

Later I encountered said child in the hall going toward Primary. I'm on the mom's side — the shoes he had on were sufficiently speedy!

Ever Thanks

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving if you celebrate. If you don't, I wish you a wonderful day. Thank you for your readership and support.
 

Made for missionaries

My thoughts inevitably turn to the Missionary Training Center each Thanksgiving. It was a special place to be at this time of the year when we (in the United States) turn our thoughts to gratitude. 

What made the day more special was knowing that while I was there eating Thanksgiving dinner in the MTC cafeteria, my family was about a mile away, enjoying a home cooked meal at my grandma's house.
 

The upward spiral

It seems somehow appropriate, don't you think?

 

Sketchbook: Our fellow beings

Once again it’s time for Light the World, and this year we have TWO machines in Oregon. One is in Portland a few miles from the temple, and the other is in Eugene, near the site of the soon-to-be Willamette Valley Temple. 

We had so much fun volunteering at the one in Portland last year! It’s so much fun to see people’s eyes light up as they buy things that support local needs. 
 

Editor’s note: We even got a little help from Godzilla!

Turkey stuffing?

Should this have stayed in the sketchbook? Maybe!
 

My dinner with Mikey

Credit for this gag goes to faithful reader Christy B. It should be pointed out, however, that Michelangelo was a sculptor, not a carver. But quick — name a famous carver other that George Washington (Carver). Not so easy, is it?

Yes, we took a break from Shakespeare, but we're still hanging out in the classics!
