Mormon Cartoonist

Clint — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:04:57 +0000

I follow a blog called Mormon Cartoonist. This guy creates creative cartoons that he submits to the Friend, The Ensign, The New Era, and other LDS magazines. Many of his works make it to print. Anyway, as I as reading through some of his cartoons I started thinking about what would make a good cartoon. I can’t draw worth a darn so being able to create one on my own would be a disaster, but, I could come up with an original idea for a cartoon. So, I started looking around in my life for something that might be cool illustrated in cartoon. One evening while talking to my sons, I came up with an idea for a cartoon. So, I went to Mormon Cartoonist and suggested a funny premise. A few days later I received a response that he would take my idea and make a comic that would come out in February. Well, February is finally here and below is his cartoon based from my idea.

Daily Temple Vid

Clint — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 03:31:27 +0000

I’ve seen a few videos lately of people that will video something every day. One video was of a kid that took a video of himself doing a flip every day for a month. Another video was a 1 second snippet of a girls day for a full year. So, in honor of these two videos, I decided to take my flip video with me every day and video something. After a little bit of thought, I decided to take a video of the Twin Falls LDS Temple. I don’t drive by the temple every day but it is close to my house and if I plan it right, I can drive past every single day. So, I took my Flip Video and filmed some snippets from each time I passed by the Mormon Temple in Twin Falls. Below is my edited movie.

Christmas Service Project

Clint — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 22:15:57 +0000

My Dad has had a charity organization for many years called Charity Anywhere Foundation. Every year he schedules a service project to Mexico during the Christmas break. Each year I look at my schedule and my vacation days to see if I can make the trip and take my kids down. Each year it seems that it just doesn’t work out. However, this year was different. The stars aligned, the planets were in sync so it was time to go to Mexico. I was able to get off work, I had the vacation days, my kids were old enough and I had some cheap tickets for flights into San Diego. So, I loaded up 3 of my kids and we went to Tijuana Mexico over Christmas Break. Below is a video of what we did, both working and playing. We had a great time, we worked hard, we played hard, and we learned a little about what it means to live in the United States of America.

I’ll probably blog about some more stuff that I learned while serving in Mexico over the next few days so stay tuned.

Return Missionary

This month Blake Wight returned from his mission to Moscow Russia. Many of our family was able to come and listen to his talk in Sacrament Meeting. Blake is a good example of how to server the Lord by completing an honorable full time mission. The night before his talk in church, we sat down as a family and had a change to ask him questions about his mission and had him share his testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Blake served 2 years for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The video below is the little unofficial reception after church.

I’m almost famous now

My video made it on the Deseretnews.com website. The reference to my video is towards the end of the article labeled “Priesthood Session”. I’m pretty sure that I’m almost famous now.

Priesthood Session October 1st 2011

Clint — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 01:11:01 +0000

I saw that the church requested people to submit videos that show what we do to prepare for General Conference. The invitation is on this link. http://lds.org/church/news/members-invited-to-submit-video-of-general-conference-experiences?lang=eng

So, I decided to take my flip video along with me to the Priesthood Session of General Conference. After putting it all together I submitted it. We will see if they actually use it somewhere. There are a number of problems with my video so lets see if you can find all of the “legal” issues I might encounter.

Here is the video:

Any Question

Clint — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 21:16:01 +0000

When watching this video, is there any question that there is a God that created this incredible earth? The scripture that comes to mind when watching this video would be Alma 30:44.

Elders Quorum Lesson

Clint — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 18:17:17 +0000

I had to give the Elders Quorum lesson last Sunday so I thought I would do something new and creative, so, I checked out a light box from the library and showed these two videos.

The first video is from Mormon Messages which talks about the 400 year anniversary of the Bible being translated into English. Then, I showed snippets from President Packer’s address at General Conference in April of 2011.

Below are the vids.

I think the Elders in the quorum liked the change in the lesson format. Who doesn’t like watching a little video here and there.
