Beekeeper

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

BeekeeperJust a fun picture of a beekeeper. No story behind it today. My son said, “Draw a beekeeper” so here he is.

I can’t make any promises but if you have a type of job you want me to draw send me an email to me at: ProfessorQB@gmail.com and maybe you’ll see a sketch you suggested right here on ChurchFun.com

When you write be sure and give your first name (first names only) your age and town. That way we can put that by the picture. We want to see all the cool places people are from. But remember no last names. That way we can be nice and safe. You know that is a good plan anytime you are online. Don’t ever give your last name, address, phone number or school name to ANYONE, not even to a fun web site like this. Good web sites like this won’t want that information anyway. It is just safer that way.

Lion for Melita

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

LionHi. My name is Melita.

I live in Brisbane, Australia.

Can you please draw me a lion sketch?

There is a reason. Lions remind me of “Daniel in the Lions’ Den” and
how an angel came and shut the lions mouths. My favourite part is when the bad men were then thrown in the lions’ den themselves.

Those men make me feel ashamed of the human race because of how badly they sinned.

Once again please draw me a lion sketch.

Yours truly,

Melita

Wow! That’s pretty cool that we have friends all the way in Australia. I’m glad to draw Melita a lion. I’m also glad that it reminds her of such a cool Bible story.

If you would like me to draw a sketch that you suggest send your idea to: ProfessorQB@gmail.com

I like to draw people best. So, think of a kind of job a person has and send that to me and I’ll try to get to it. I cannot promise that I’ll get to yours but maybe, just maybe, if you are luck like Melita, you could see a sketch you suggested right her on ChurchFun.com

So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!”

A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation might not be changed. Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night without eating and without any entertainment being brought to him. And he could not sleep.

At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den. When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?” Daniel answered, “O king, live forever! My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, O king.”

The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.

Daniel 6:16-23 (NIV)

Sharks Have a Great Sense of Smell

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

Shark

God gave sharks a keen sense of smell. Some kinds of sharks can smell as little as one drop of blood if it was in 1,000,000 drops of seawater (that’s over 13.2 gallons about 50 liters).

A big kitchen trash can holds about 13 gallons or a little less than 50 liters. Imagine one drop in a whole kitchen trash can filled with seawater.

Sharks are also attracted to the chemicals found in the intestines of many species of fish. Some species, such as nurse sharks, have external barbels (a slender, whisker like feeling organ) near the mouth that greatly increase their ability to sense prey.

Sharks generally rely on their superior sense of smell to find prey, but at closer range they also sense movement in the water, and even use their senses to detect electrical fields created by prey.

God really made sharks cool. Here is a cool way to get just a small idea of just how sensitive a shark’s sense of smell is. Of course, our nose can not even get close to the sensitivity of a shark’s but this fun experiment will give you an idea.

Professor QB Goes Bananas

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

Banana

Why are bananas never lonely?
Because they hang around in bunches.

Time flies like an arrow, but fruit flies like a banana.

What did the banana say to the elephant?
Nothing. Bananas can’t talk.

How can you tell the difference between a monster and a banana?
Try picking it up. If you can’t, it’s either a monster or a real BIG banana.

Why did the banana go out with the prune?
Because he couldn’t find a date.

Professor QB They’re not going to grow bananas any longer.
Really? Why not?
Because they’re long enough already.

Why did the clown lose his job in a fruit packing company?
He kept throwing the bent bananas away.

What is yellow on the inside and green on the outside ?
A banana dressed up as a cucumber!

Fun Banana Snack Idea

With no stove-top cooking or chopping required, this frozen banana recipe is truly for families.Banana Pop

Ingredients

  • 3 bananas
  • Ice-cream sticks
  • 2 chocolate bars, weighing about 1 1/2 ounces each
  • 1 cup of pre-chopped nuts, crushed cereal, or shredded coconut

Directions

Peel the bananas and remove any stringy fibers. Cut the bananas in half, widthwise, and push an ice-cream stick through the cut end of each half. Cover them in plastic wrap and freeze for about 3 hours.

After the bananas are frozen, place the chocolate bars in a microwave-proof bowl and cook on High for about 2 minutes, or until the chocolate melts. Check after one minute. Stir in the nuts, cereal, or coconut. Using a butter knife, spread the chocolate mixture over the frozen bananas to coat them completely. Be careful while the mixture is still hot. Kids can roll them in more topping (this is messy but fun).

Rest the pops on a plate covered with waxed paper and freeze until ready to serve. Makes 6 pops

Lederhosen Sketch

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

Boy in LederhosenWhen I was a little boy my grandmother visited Germany (her parents had immigrated from Germany and my grandfather’s parents had immigrated from Germany too).

She brought back these really cool short pants that had (what I thought were) built in suspenders. They were leather and I could wear them to church sometimes. They were the only short pants I was allowed to wear to church.

I didn’t know it at the time but those cool pants were called lederhosen. Nothing makes you think of Germany, Switzerland or the Alps quite like lederhosen.

We have friends of ChurchFun.com from all over the world. Send me an email at ProfessorQB@gmail.com and tell me about any special clothes or customs you have that would be interesting to the rest of our ChurchFun.com family here.

I love to sketch for you guys so there will be more coming all the time.
