Jesus will help you fight your dragons!

 This is my free coloring pages blog.

Today, the new drawing is symbolic.

It shows Jesus helping a man fight his dragons,

Jesus helps a Man fight his Dragons

Jesus will help us all fight our dragons.  This means He will take our burdens.  I read that to be that Jesus will help us overcome our trials.  This can be by Him removing the trial or by Him making us equal to the task of handling the trial.  This can include addictions, health challenges, relationship challenges, monetary challenges, etc.  So be willing to turn to Him. 

Understand that I, myself, have overcome some addiction and I face multiple health challengers due to a birth defect over 60 years ago.  Twenty years ago, I was told I would not survive a few days.  Here I am, with God's help.  It has not been easy, but it HAS been worth it. With Heavenly Father's help I hope to keep positive as much as I can and live at least several more years.  

There are two ways to handle trials if you are a believer.  One, get mad at God.  Two, turn TO God. You are going to have the trials either way.  So, in my opinion, you might as well get God's help dealing with the trials.  Heavenly Father loves you, as does your Heavenly Mother.  And our elder spirit brother, Jesus also understands our trials in a unique way.  When He suffered in Gethsemane and on the cross, He took upon Himself all the eternal punishment for our sins - if we repent.  But Jesus also felt every pain and anguish we all face in our mortal life.  So He can understand what we are going through.  

So TURN to our Savior, Jesus Christ.  He is your advocate with God the Father. They will send you the Comforter - AKA the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit.  This can make all the difference.

An Angel appears to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane

Today's new drawing is of Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane 

and an angel appears to Him to give Him strength.  

An Angel Appears to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane

While Jesus was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, an Angel appeared to Him to strengthen Him.  We members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe that Jesus began to pay the eternal price for our sins in the Garden of Gethsemane.  This terrible suffering continued with His trial and crucifixion.  He, Jesus, suffered for each of us.  He knew that there was an eternal price to pay for sins.  We all have sinned... except Jesus.  

As the Son of God, Jesus was immortal, unless He chose to die.  He told His disciples that He came to Earth to die for all of us.  His Atonement makes repentance possible.  Therefore, if we repent of our sins, we can live with our Earthly family and our Heavenly Parents in glorified resurrected bodies in the Celestial Kingdom of our God.  Jesus' resurrection made OUR resurrection possible. So when we die, we go to Paradise or Spirit Prison.  There we rest from our trials, but worthy believers teach other spirits about Jesus and His Atonement.  Spirit Prison is also known as hell.  

To clarify, Jesus is our big brother.  He is our eldest spirit brother.  We all lived in a premortal life with our Heavenly Parents and our spirit brothers and sisters.  Jesus volunteered to be our Savior and suffer and die to pay that eternal price for our sins.  Yet when He was on Earth, He never sinned.  

When Jesus returns in glory to reign over the Earth, the righteous spirits will be resurrected, meaning they will get a glorified immortal body, and their spirit will go into that perfect body.  Then the righteous will live for a thousand years on Earth in joy and peace.  Mortals will also live in this wonderful situation.  When they get old during this Millennial period, mortals will be changed in the twinkling of an eye to immortals.  

Of course, our spirits are and always have been immortal.  We need to be thankful for the eternal nature of our future glorified resurrected bodies.  And, of course, we need to be VERY thankful for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Gondwanax a Triassic Dinosaur coloring page

 Today's new drawing is of one of the earliest dinosaurs. 

This is Gondwanax.

Gondwanax a Triassic Dinosaur

Gondwanax is a new find.  It was a very early dinosaur from the ornithischian-bird-hipped dinosaur.  It was an ancestor of the other bird-hipped dinosaurs like the long-necked Sauropods and horned Ceratopsians.  It was found in Brazil.  It was small compared to its probable descendants like Uberabatitan and Triceratops.  Gondwanax paraisensis was around 39 inches or 1 meter long, counting the long tail.  It weighed up to 13 lbs or 6 kg.  Basically, it was the size of a small dog. 

Gondwanx lived around 10 million years before other early dinosaurs like Coelophysis.  Gondwanx may have been a carnivore or maybe a herbivore.  Its descendants were herbivores. 

The drawing has several Triassic plants, so I will tell you what some of them are called: The Lower right-hand corner is a cycad.  Lower left side near the bottom of the drawing, and in several other places, is Macroaeniopteris.  Under the dinosaur's tail is a Triassic fern.  Upper right corner are two Triassic Carboniferous Pines.  This type of tree first appeared in the Carboniferous Period.  To the left of the pines is a fern pine.  The small tree that the dinosaur is about to feast on is a Ginkgo biloba tree.  This is a tree that first evolved in the Triassic period.  It was thought to be extinct until live ginkgo trees were found in a Chinese Monastery.  It now is a popular ornamental tree.

If you are accessing this page in July of 2025, then this drawing will be at or near the end of the Mesozoic Era drawings.  Have fun coloring this Triassic dinosaur and the unique Triassic Period plants. 

America the Lost A song parody sung to America the Beautiful + Sad Uncle Sam coloring page

I have always avoided political posts on this blog. 

But the situation in my home country, the United States of America,

is very worrisome to me. I am downright scared. 

I hope this post will not turn off people to my free coloring pages.

But I feel like I need to make this post. 

This is a song parody telling it like I see it. 

Admittedly, this song parody is not for children.

Not all will agree with my points in the song parody, but again, I felt I really needed to express this:

Sad Uncle Sam

Uncle Sam is a symbol of America or of the United States of America.  I drew him as if he were sad. 

America the Lost

Political Song Parody by:  Robin A. Lyman

Sung to the tune of America the Beautiful.

Oh, beautiful under spacious skies

The verdant fields of crops

With no one left to harvest them

Due to ICE special ops 

America America 

God gave blessings to thee

But you forgot the good

Of brotherhood 

Oh, how can you not see?

Oh, beautiful for immigrant feet

Those who work hard and rarely rest

Now you reject them violently 

And cause them terrible stress

America! America!

Can you not see your flaw

You’ve sold your soul 

To fascist control

With this inhuman law

Oh, beautiful for heroes proved

And they were not all white

Who more than self their country loved,

And many gave their life!

America! America!

May God forgive thy pride

If you oppress

And claim nobleness,

You’ll anger the divine.

Our military should be strong 

So fund tanks, missiles, ships, and planes

But troops in the cities are all wrong

It’s tyranny again 

America! America!

Honor those in uniform 

But when they retire 

Their situation could be dire

Abandoning them is very bad form

Oh, beautiful Martin Luther’s dream

That sees beyond the years

Where we are all on the same team

And not fomenting fears!

America! America!

God can’t give grace to thee,

Concentration camps

Where it’s hot and damp

It's a horror to see

Immigrants help thy buildings rise

Hotel staffers offer help

As people shelf the stores’ supplies

And some wrap fish in kelp

America! America!

You need these workers now

Economic collapse 

It will not be a blast

You need not to Trump bow

Not beautiful are the mother’s screams

As ICE tears her family apart

As thugs with masks shatter her dreams

It’s like they have no heart

America! America! 

Those who harvested corn and peas

Yes, their success 

By all were blessed

‘Til ICE deported them overseas 

Not beautiful the despot’s dreams

To cause much hate and fear

He and his followers all really seem

To be racists without peer

America! America

I can’t recommend thee

To the God of good

I wish I could

But He despises tyranny 

How enlightening Science can be 

When truth is sought out

And vaccinations can save many

Unless you’re a clueless lout

America! America!

Climate change is also real

To deny the truth

Is so uncouth 

Our flooded coast will be real

Not beautiful in thy allies' eyes

 As you abandon Ukraine 

Trump cozying up to dictators

Leads to more suffering and pain

America! America!

Trump wants to rule unconstitutionally

His racist jests

And his tariffs mess

Causes pain at home & overseas 

Not beautiful the deficit

That’s set to quickly rise

With Congress being complicit 

As they rejoice as democracy dies

America! America! 

The truth can yet set you free

Reject Trump’s lies

And his ICE Gestapo guys

To protect your liberty

How beautiful the med providers’ hands 

As they care for our ills

Yet the cutting off of Medicaid

Will clearly get some people killed

America! America!

How can you be so cruel?

Education cuts 

And school lunch, you gut

And college students can’t afford school

Not beautiful, the MAGA tribe

Who are blind to all they see

A president who lives by lies

Yet MAGA claims Christian piety

America! America!

God sees into your soul

Jesus would be so sad 

And certainly he’s mad

That you’ve embraced a hate-filled role

How beautiful what Jesus taught

To feed the hungry and poor

To care for the stranger and take him in

And share when you have more

America! America! 

God’s love you do deride

You cause suffering and pain

On your country, it’s a stain

God won’t your wickedness abide

There are those among you 

     who fight for what’s true

Christ can feel your pain

He sees the good you try to do 

And your good deeds will remain

America! America!

God knows many of you try

To follow Him

Fight against sin

And are full of love ‘til the day you die

Oh, beautiful, the heavenly realms 

Where good souls find eternal rest

For their good deeds 

To try & meet others’ needs

They will be greatly blessed

Americans! Americans! 

One day we all meet our God

Did you care for the poor?

Or were you a selfish boar?

Did you in Christ’s footsteps trod? 

Oh, beautiful the Constitution 

That gave liberty to all

Yet in fear or anger 

You reject the stranger

Oh, how far can you fall?

America! America!

Once a beacon of liberty 

Yet now you’re lost

In a tempest-tossed

As you’ve embraced cruelty 

With open lies, your president tries 

To accuse others of blame 

He targets immigrants with lies

And his minions do the same 

Americans! Americans! 

Wake up to your frightening plight 

You enter a cavern

Of despotism

It could be a very long night

I apologize if I offended you, but this song parody is one way I can express my views of the current frightening

situation in my country of the USA. By the way, in a few days I plan to draw a happy Uncle Sam.
