The blessings of springtime

Lift up thine sleepy eyes

Some times for family scripture study work better than others.

Too early

What's the best time to do family scripture study? We used to have our family scripture study early in the morning — one of our kids had EARLY early morning seminary. I'm pretty sure there was a lot of dreaming going on. I like it better now that we do it to close out the day. 

Memorial Day

Have a safe Memorial Day, and remember those who have gone before.

Anywhere but here

It's one of those things that almost every parent sees — their kid is a hard worker and well behaved... but only when they're someplace other than home!

Remembering

Thank you to all who have served!

Taking care of business

It doesn't work at our house either.

Celestial reasoning

There always seems to be something that gets in the way — but it's sure worth it to go!

Blessings, no matter how you count them!

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves...

Happy Family Night!

Been there.

Helix, with a twist

One of the best things about being a parent: DNA.

General Conference

He that hath ears to hear...

They somehow always know!

We remember

Happy Memorial Day!

Boys will be boys

Count your many billows

One of my favorite quotes from Bill Cosby is his response when people asked why he and his wife had five kids: "Because we don't want six!"

Better than I expected

This happened to me several years ago during one of Elder Scott's talks. The talk itself was good, but the lessons I learned were awesome!

Everybody has a dream

OK, so I borrowed a bit from Shakespeare here.  Hope you don't mind!

Sometimes I have to remind myself why I share these cartoons. Certainly it's not for money or fame (although I did run into somebody once who recognized my name from this strip!).  I do it to share my testimony of the Book of Mormon, if only in a small way. I feel like placing a strip in this setting is kind of like following Nephi's admonition to liken the scriptures unto ourselves.

Whatever the reason you're here, I'm glad you stopped by. Maybe it helps you visualize the scriptures, or look at them in a different light. Maybe it gives you a smile or roll your eyes. To me, it's gratifying to see that people from all over the world check in from time to time. That's cool. Keep coming back!

Thanks!

It keeps on giving

I had a boss who used to say, "That project cost more than we expected it would, but then we expected it would!"

Hey, kids!

Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of the summer season.  We're still working on our vacation plans, but what could be better than a theme park with the family, right?
