Morning musings



So usually I am so busy just getting things 'done' that the mornings fly by. Well this morning we did a Matthew Ch 14 bible study, followed by me asking the boys to draw a picture of what we read...Well, these boys certainly do not have a lack of creativity!

I was thinking of a straight forward picture of the feeding of the 5000 or of John the Baptist's beheading. Actually I was sure that I would get two pictues of the beheading because it has the whole gore factor that the boys love...but what I got was two stick man comic books! One for each story, with all the story embellishments we expect from a hollywood film...King Herod's PArty, was actually his surprise birthday party, Herodias was a break-dancer who through in a "hat" dance for good measure. John's head was served up on one of those room service trolleys in one version and he was actually underneath (not decapitated)and ready to scare Herod...LOL! In the other there is a long depiction of the skeleton of death walking through the beheading process with John...Hmmm

The feeding of the 5000 is drawn gang style with 'J-man' and his 12 "homies" rounding up the bread and fishes. The last frame has The 'J-man' walking away while the others gather up the 12 baskets of leftover food and he is saying to himself, " You can't touch this!" And yes he is wearing MC hammer pants!
