please draw "church" pictures

A few weeks ago in church the kids all wanted to draw.   I always tell them to come prepared with their own things if they want to color -- and by golly, this time they did.  Of course, unable to remit my control over  the situation, I asked them to please draw church pictures.  Here is what we got...
Our Prophet : Thomas S.  Monson by Libbie

The reason I had asked them to draw something about church is because the boys seem to be drawing weapons of mass destruction quite often lately -- boys will be boys. Like how Gavin tied the "aiming" into his picture.  I thought it was quite ingenious.

As I  leaned over to see what Garrett was drawing I had tears in my eyes  -- he drew our Savior being crucified and saying "forgive them" the tears started to dry as I read the Roman Soldiers saying "king of jews" and "ur stupid" 

The tears turned to complete laughter when I saw the follow-up drawing.  This depiction of Christ's resurrection is Christ saying "I'm back" and the soldiers saying "Oh Crud" and "we should have thought this through!"  If you don't know Garrett you may think this is a bit blasphemous -- but for us it is absolutley hilarious!

What a wonderful blog, I loved
everything you wrote about. Thanks
for sharing. We need to express
our gratitude more than we do
instead of whishing we had other
wants. We are truly very blessed.
I love the idea of a castle with
us in different wings and getting
together for prayers and family
fun, hurry and get it built before
Grandpa and I die so we can enjoy.

Love you all,
Grandma Iris

I forgot to mention the pictures,
they are really great. I love
Garrett's words that the soldiers
said, typical childs thinking.
He knew that the Savior came back
and the soldiers would not be
happy. SO glad this program he is
taking is helping him. I know
Heavenely Father is also helping
him, He loves him and wants Garrett to be happy, as we all want
him to be happy. We hope the weather will be good so you can be
here for the Chrostmas Party and
JT's report, so we will be saying a
lot of prayers that week.

Love you lots,
Grandma Iris
