Esther outside the Palace coloring page

 This is my free coloring pages blog.

I apologize for not posting in a while.  

Quite honestly, the things happening in my country have had me upset.

Today I am posting a picture of Esther.  The very brave queen. 

Esther outside the Palace

Esther was an incredibly brave woman.  She was chosen to be the queen.   She was very, very beautiful, but even more impressive was she was full of faith.  Encouraged by her Uncle Mordicai, she asked her people to fast before she presented herself before the king.  She managed to outmaneuver the evil Haman and save her people, the Jews, from destruction.

Spicomellus the Oldest Ankylosaur and Tendaguriterus - of the Jurassic Period from Africa

 Today on this, my free coloring pages blog, 

we have a coloring page of two Jurassic animals from Africa.

Spicomellus and Tendguriterus from Africa

Spicomellus is a recently discovered Ankylosaur.  It was from the Middle Jurassic Period.  It was 14 feet or 4.26 meters long and covered in spikes. The longest spikes were almost a yard or just under a meter long!  This was a seriously armored animal.  Its name means spiked collar. But nearly its whole body was spiked. It needed protection from Theropods like the 26-foot-long Afrovenator. 

Tendaguriterus was a small Pterosaur, also from Africa in the Jurassic Period.  Its wingspread was only about 32 inches or 1 meter wide. It had a mouthful of sharp, long teeth and fed on fish.

Jesus is the Answer - coloring page of Jesus near Jerusalem

 This is my free coloring pages blog. 

Today's new drawing I have done is of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Jesus with Jerusalem in the Background

Jesus was and is our Savior.  He volunteered to be our Savior.  He died to pay the eternal price for our sins,  so we can repent and return to live with our Heavenly Parents.   Jesus was the greatest of men - His father of his flesh being God.  Jesus never sinned.  His mortal mother meant he could die, yet his Heavenly Father meant that Jesus could be resurrected.  Jesus had an imperfect body.  

The Bible implies that  Jesus was not particularly handsome.  Notice that I drew Him with a lazy eyelid.  I have this same trait.  One eye is slightly less open than my other eye.  I thought that maybe Jesus had a trait like this.  Yet He was truly beautiful because the inner person is where true beauty lies. 

In these turbulent times, we need to remember that Jesus IS the answer.  He taught love and compassion for others.  He condemned violence and hypocrisy.  He was almost certainly a skilled craftsman, yet He gave up his profession to be an itinerant (homeless) preacher.  His message of love and forgiveness is one we all need to be living by.  THAT is the answer to the troubles in our world.  We all need to truly follow Him and live by His teachings.  He welcomed the stranger. He taught forgiveness of others. He taught against violence.  He taught that we can be forgiven of our own sins.  His example and teachings were to take care of the poor, sick, and needy.  He taught us to be kind and comforting to those who were sad or suffering.  There is no greater example in history of such compassion.  We need to follow His example of caring for and being kind to others.  If we disagree with someone, we need to work it out and not have conflict over the disagreement.  The spirit of contention is not of Him.  It is of the Devil..  We need to learn to disagree with others peacefully.  We absolutely should NEVER do violence to others because we disagree with them.

Cretaceous Friends - Baby Dinosaur Friends coloring page

You have found my free coloring pages blog. 

This site has over 3000 free printable coloring pages.

Today's new drawing is of some baby dinosaurs. 

It is a cartoon-style drawing. 

Cretaceous Friends

Although this is a fun cartoon-style drawing, it is not totally inaccurate scientifically.  This is because there have been footprints found of dinosaurs, and the footprints have been of several different types or species of herbivore dinosaurs.  They obviously were traveling together in a mixed-species herd... or a mixed herd. These are obviously baby herbivorous dinos.

Another scientific accuracy is the volcano in the background.  Triceratops lived at the end of the Cretaceous Period, and there was a real uptick in volcanic activity the last several million years of the Cretaceous - BEFORE the asteroid hit and finished off the non-avian dinosaurs.  The baby Sauropod would have to be a baby Titanosaur of some kind. 

NOTE:  Since this is a drawing of dinosaurs from the Cretaceous Period of the Mesozoic Era, you can find the printable version by clicking on the "Paleontology" button and scrolling down to the Mesozoic Era section.  Click on the title and you'll get your free coloring page.  Have fun coloring this fun picture that is designed for younger kids to color.  FYI, there were 3 periods of the Mesozoic Era.  Triassic Period, Jurassic Period, and Cretaceous Period.  The  Mesozoic Era was divided into 3 periods. 

Coloring Pages of Jesus and John the Baptist

 Today on this, my free coloring pages blog, 

I am posting some drawings of Jesus and

John the Baptist.  

These are drawings that I have drawn for 

you to print and color. 

Portrait of Jesus after His Resurrection

You can see the marks of the nails in Jesus' hands.  This drawing is of Jesus.  It could be His second coming, Or it could be Him ascending into Heaven. It could be Jesus descending from Heaven to appear to His people in the New World... as told in the Book of Mormon.  Notice the bird in the distance.  If you frequent my blog, you may have noticed that every time I draw Jesus, I include a bird that is supposed to be a Dove.  The Dove represents the Holy Ghost, who is the third member of the Godhead.  There is the Father or Heavenly Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost.  The Father and Son have bodies of flesh and bone, but the Holy Ghost has a Spirit Body so He can dwell in us. 

I will add that you can feel free to add a background to the portrait.

John the Baptist by the River Jordan

John the Baptist was the voice in the wilderness preparing the people for the advent of the Savior, Jesus Christ.  He dressed in camel hair, so his raiment was coarse.  He baptized his cousin Jesus.  And John was very brave, taking on the evil political leaders in his sermons.  This cost him his life. Almost 2 millennia later, John the Baptist visited Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowderty and John, as a resurrected being, laid His hands on Joseph's and Oliver's heads to give them the Aaronic Priesthood. So, John the Baptist had the keys to the Aaronic Priesthood.

Baptism of Jesus Christ

Jesus was baptized by his cousin, John the Baptist or John the Baptizer.  John baptized people in the River Jordan or Jordan River.  He wore camel hair clothing and ate wild locusts - kind of like Elijah did when he was on the run from King Ahab.  John's nemesis was King Herod.

Young Snow Leopard - in the Himalayan Mountains

 Today's new coloring page drawing is a team effort. 

My granddaughter, Maven, did the background, and I did the foreground.

The coloring page is a drawing of a Snow Leopard.

Young Snow Leopard

This is a juvenile snow leopard.  Snow leopards live in the Himalayan Mountains. These big cats are absolutely amazing.  They can chase prey down steep mountain sides at high speed. If you count the long thick tail a snow leopard can be up to 8 feet 4 inches long.  This young or juvenile snow leopard is somewhere around 6 months old, so its mother is going to be nearby.  

Maven was camping recently, and she looked at the High Uintah Mountains and was inspired to draw mountains.  Notice that see could see layering and irregular lines along the ridges.  Mountains are not pyramids, although some look a little like pyramids.

Jill & Carol Night Mushroom Fairies

This is my free coloring pages blog.

Today's new coloring page is of a pair of friends who

are Night Mushroom Fairies. 

Jill & Carol Night Mushroom Fairies

Jill and Carol are great friends. They are also a type of Mushroom Fairy that is nocturnal. So they are called Night Mushroom Fairies.  They are seen here in their natural size of around 5 inches tall. They are out at night, and they are kneeling on mushrooms.   These Mushroom Fairies collect edible mushrooms for the Fairy village.  They can also identify which species of mushrooms are useful for medicinal purposes. And of course, Mushroom Fairies can identify and avoid poisonous fungi like toadstools.  

Don't assume that these little Fairies are defenseless.  Those wands are used to focus powerful Fairy magic. Notice the flying belt that both Fairies are wearing.  These Belteum Valorum are flying belts that allow Fairies to fly at great speed and fly for extended periods of time.  Fairies don't need the belt to fly, but they DO need it to fly fast and to fly long distances or to fly for a long time.  Some Fairies carry blowdart tubes, and they use certain fungi to make a sleeping potion for the tips of their darts. 

Fairies have magic, but they also have advanced tech.  They have incorporated their magic and their technology.  This gives them advantages over we mere mortals.  If a mortal sees a Fairy, the mortal will think they are looking at a beautiful butterfly or maybe a dragonfly.  And Fairies can transform to mortal size.  Some Fairies live among mortals much of their lives.  Many Fairies even marry mortals.  And yes, there are both male and female Fairies.  

Now, I want to tell you that these are a pair of beautiful Fairies.  But they are even more beautiful because they are genuinely kind and intelligent.  Kindness enhances beauty.  Though some Fairies ARE vain, that does not describe Carol and Jill.  Yet for all their humility, they really are very beautiful.  They probably don't realize it, or maybe do know how beautiful they are. Or maybe they just know how important it is to be kind and to have an intelligent mind.

Jill is also a Tiger Swallow-tail Fairy.  Notice how her wings mimic that type of butterfly.  Carol is a Lacewing Fairy with translucent to transparent lace-like wings.  Notice that it is a moonless night, and the main source of light is the wand-light.

Sun behind Clouds

 Today on this, my free coloring pages blog, 

we have a drawing done by my granddaughter.

Sun behind Clouds

This shows the clouds in front of the sun

It is minimallistically done

The clouds look 3-D

This was drawn by my granddaughter Maven

NOTE:  This drawing was done by my 9-year-old granddaughter Maven. Notice the 3-dimensional nature of this drawing. The coloring page drawing can be printed by clicking on the button labeled: "Skyscapes and Landscape Drawings." This is the first drawing in this category. 

Carlia the Healer Fairy

This is my free coloring pages blog.

Today's new drawing is of a Healer Fairy.

Carlia the Healer Fairy 

Carlia is a Healer Fairy.  She is one of those Fairies who divides her time between the Fairy Realm and the mortal world.  She was trained in Fairy healing techniques.  She also went to mortal nursing school.  She works in both worlds.  She is caring and kind to her patients.  She is seen here gathering watercress for medicinal use in her Fairy Healing.  

Watercress grows in flowing streams.  It has several health benefits, including high in antioxidants and vitamins.  Plus it promotes bone health, lowers cholesterol, and is an anti-inflammatory.  Calia is a Fairy so her natural size is about 5 inches tall.  But, like all Fairies, she can transform into mortal size.  Here she is gathering the watercress in mortal size.  Of course, when working as a nurse among mortals, she is in mortal size and she can magically internalize her wings and cloak her pointed Fairy ears.  

I understand that Carlia is married to a mortal. Her children also have Fairy traits. They can choose to live in the mortal world, the Fairy Realm, or both... like their mother does.

Lazarus and the Rich Man

 This is my free coloring pages blog.

There are over 3000 coloring pages that I have drawn 

that you can print for children or adults to color.

Today's new drawings are about the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man.

Lazarus and the Rich Man in Mortality

Lazarus and the Rich Man after Mortality

Lazarus was a poor man who begged at the door of a rich man's house. Dogs even licked the sores on Lazarus' body.  (By the way, that would be a kindness by the dogs. But it indicates a complete lack of proper care and abject poverty with homelessness.  Presumably, the rich man was not kind to Lazarus.

When Lazarus died, he was taken into the bosom of Abraham.  That is, he went to Paradise. The rich man also died and went to what we call Spirit Prison or Hell.  The rich man saw Lazarus and Father Abraham from a distance and asked Father Abraham to send Lazarus to dip his finger in water to quench the thirst of the rich man, because he was in torment.  

Abraham told the rich man that Lazarus had misery in his mortal life and the rich man had abundance, so now their roles were reversed.  Abraham also said that there was a great gulf between Paradise and Spirit Prison (Heaven and Hell), so no one could pass between the two places. 

Then the rich man thought of his brothers, and he wanted Lazarus to appear to them and warn them.  Abraham said that the brothers had the scriptures.  But the rich man said that they would listen to a man raised from the dead or presumably an angel. Abraham's answer was that if they wouldn't listen to Moses and the prophets, etc., they would not listen to a man raised from the dead. 

To me, "Moses and the Prophets" refers to scriptures and also living prophets. 

This was a parable that Jesus taught. Read the story in Luke 16, verses 19-31.  

I will add that the gulf between Paradise and Spirit Prison was bridged by Jesus.  He went to the Spirit World after his body died on the cross.  Then Jesus, in Spirit form, organized the teaching of spirits in prison. Righteous Spirits would go to teach spirits in Spirit Prison. 

This parable tells us to be kind to those less fortunate than us.  People who are poor should be helped, not neglected.  I will add that Jesus ministered extensively to the poor during His mortal ministry.  He also ministered some to the wealthy. And the righteous wealthy listened to His message.  The unrighteous wealthy did not.  In fact, some of the wealthy were certainly involved in getting him condemned before Pilate.  I will add that many of the poor found Jesus' doctrine too hard to follow.  But the message of this parable is clearly a warning to the rich in things of this world.

Kurt Alloway portrait

 Today on this, my free coloring pages blog, I am getting very close to my heart.

Kurt Alloway was one of my two best friends in the world. 

He passed away a few days ago. 

Kurt Alloway

Kurt was one of my two very best friends when I was growing up.  He was my friend and my defender.  Although I did not know it, nerdy me, who grew up with a trach tube for much of my youth, was never teased in high school in my hometown.  For a year and a half, my family moved to a nearby town.  I was bullied mercilessly by the "cool" guys who were primarily athletes.  I was born with a birth defect in my trachea and esophagus, so I wasn't allowed to play sports.  I had been put in a PE class with the entire football and basketball team.  They made up mean nicknames and plastered me with snowballs.  They called me nicknames all over the school.  Nowhere was safe.  

But when I moved back to my hometown, I had Kurt and Mike.  They were my team. The three of us were the three musketeers, and it was so nice to be back in my hometown with them.  20 years after graduation, Kurt explained to me that if any kid so much as looked at me sideways, he, Kurt, would pin them to a locker and threaten to pound them if they chose to harass or tease me.  Kurt was not a violent guy, but he was a big cowboy being raised on a ranch.  He never actually pounded anyone.  But he DID give me peace and friendship my last year and a half of high school.  

Kurt even dated my sister and her friends.  Those women remember him as a very nice guy.  Kurt also was incredibly intelligent.  He was an inspiration because he was unfailingly kind.  He understood nature and the West Desert of Utah like no other.  I will miss him.

Adult Alamosaurus and Triceratops

Today's newest coloring page that I drew is in keeping with the theme of

Alamosaurus and Triceratops. In this case, they are full-size adults.  

Adult Alamosaurus and Triceratops

There are known dinosaur tracks in Wyoming that are of a mixed herd. So the idea that two herbivorous dinosaurs may have had a friendly relationship is not unheard of.  I have been to that site.  It is called Red Gulch Dinosaur Pathway, and it is east of Greybull, Wyoming.  

A full-sized adult Triceratops had horns that curved forward - like some modern bulls.  Triceratops was around 30 feet long or over 9 meters long.  Triceratops was almost 10 feet or 3 meters tall.  A full-sized adult would have weighed around 13 tons!

Yet an adult Triceratops would have been dwarfed by an adult Alamosaurus.  A full-size adult Alamosaurs may have weighed up to 80 tons and may have been up to 115 feet long.  That is 35 meters long. Alamosaurus probably was not as tall as a 60-foot-tall Sauroposeidon, but it was definitely very tall.  Maybe 40 to 50 feet or 12-15 meters tall. 

Alamosaurus was the biggest land animal ever to live in what is now North America.  Triceratops was the largest of the Ceratopsian or horned dinosaurs.  Also, they lived at the end of the dinosaur period, called the Cretaceous.  The asteroid or comet most certainly wiped them out, but the huge upping of volcanic activity before the asteroid or comet had already made the Earth a very inhospitable place. 

NOTE:  This drawing is found in printable form by clicking on the button labeled "Paleontology" and then scrolling down to the bottom or near the bottom of the "Mesozoic Life" section.  Have fun coloring this last of the series of Alamosaurus and Triceratops.

Subadult Alamosaurus and Triceratops

 This is my free coloring pages blog.

Today I am continuing with the theme from my last post.

This is a drawing of two subadult dinosaurs.

Subadult Alamosaurus and Triceratops

Yesterday I drew two young juvenile dinosaurs.  These are the same species, only in a more serious drawing.  They are not full-sized adults.  They are subadults. I guess they remained friends as they grew up.  This sometimes does happen with modern animals of different species. 

Alamosaurus has recently been upgraded.  That is, its size is now estimated to be between 90-100 feet long and weighing between 70 and 80 tons.  That is around the size of the biggest known dinosaurs, Argentinosaurus or Patagotitan.  Paleontologists looked inside the bones and discovered that the fossil showed that the Alamosaurus specimen was not fully grown.  

You can tell this is a subadult Triceratops because the horns point out at an angle.  Full-grown adult Triceratops were bigger, and their horns curved and pointed forward.  If these two were full-sized adults, then the Triceratops would be much smaller in proportion to the Alamosaurus. 

NOTE:  This drawing is found in printale form by clicking on the "Paleontology" button.  Then scroll down to the bottom fothe Mesozoic Life section of the list.  Have fun coloring these dinosaurs! 

Juvenile Triceratops and Alamosaurus

 Today's new drawing that I did is of a juvenile nature.

It is fairly simple cartoon drawing for young people (kids) to color and

it is a drawing of two juvenile dinosaurs.

Juvenile Triceratops and Alamosaurus

These are young or juvenile herbivorous dinosaurs.  They are also quadropeds. So they ate plants and walked on four feet.  For years, paleontologists thought that there were no Sauropods in North America during the late Cretaceous.  But the discovery of Amamosaurus changed that.  It was a large Sauropod that was close to 100 feet long or 30 meters long... as an adult.   Large males probably weighed around 88 tons or 80 tonnes (metric tonnes).   It had armored spines along its neck and back.  Alamosaurus was the only Titanosaur ever found in North America.  It is thought that it migrated up from South America.  By the way, Alamosaurus was 36 feet or 11 meters tall.  That is quite impressive. 

Triceratops is more well-known.  It was a 30-foot-long armored Ceratopsian or horned dinosaur.  It was the last and the biggest of the Ceratopsians.  Both these dinos lived in the late Cretaceous of North America.  This fun drawing shows two friends walking together.  The volcano in the background is actually scientifically accurate.  There was a rise in volcanic activity worldwide in the late Cretaceous.

You might have noticed the Pterosaurs in the background.  They are Pteranodons.  They had a wingspan of up to 25 feet wide... or 7.6 meters wide.  Males had a larger crest than the females.

Dueling Dragons

Sorry I have not posted in several days.  I got very upset about the things happening in my country. 

Yes, I live in the USA.  The targeting of hard working good people who are immigrants 

seems cruel and rather foolish since we rely on their labor to keep our economy going. 

I also have a problem with my computer so I have to borrow one to post.

Anyway, this is a drawing done by one of my grandnephews.  He is of elementary school age. 

I think he did a great job drawing these two "Dueling Dragons."

Dueling Dragons

As you can probably imagine, dragons don't always get along.  This drawing depicts a dragon duel.  Both dragons try to overwhelm their rival with hot fire.  This fire is from the methane gas that dragons store in their throat in a special organ called the pyroex,  The methane is made in the dragon's digestive system and a tubular organ called the methotubo takes the methane to the pyroex.  When a dragon wants to shoot fire it uses a few special teeth called incinderdons.  These teeth are high in iron so they spark when he dragon snaps its mouth closed.  This ignites the methane as it is projected out of the dragon's mouth.  

I should mention that some dragons make hydrogen gas out of water.  They have both a pyroex organ and a LOX organ.  They expel liquid oxygen along with the hydrogen when they want to shoot or breathe fire.  The liquid oxygen immediately goes into a gas stare and interacts with the hydrogen gas when the incinderdons spark. 

Have fun coloring this awesome drawing!

Marcelio the Jedi second fan art drawing

 

This is my free coloring pages blog. 

It has been a while since I posted on this blog. 

Sorry, but my computer got broken. I am now borrowing my wife's computer.

This drawing was misplaced a few months ago, so I drew Marcelio in another picture.

So this is the second drawing of Marcelio the Jedi. But technically it is the first drawn but second posted.

Marcelio the Jedi second picture

As explained above, this is the second drawing of Marcelio the Jedi. It is a fan art drawing.  I am a big Star Wars fan and I have been fascinated by the idea of Jedi Kignts since 1977.

Sea Dragon Fairy

 This is my free coloring pages blog. I have drawn over 3000 coloring pages that you can print & color.

Today's new drawing is of a type of Fairy that lives by the ocean.  

Marinia the Sea Dragon Fairy

Marinia is a Sea Fairy. Sea Fairies live near the ocean and have special adaptations for living near the water.  Like Merpeople, they can breathe underwater.  They have specialized lungs that can extract oxygen from air AND water.  But unlike Merpeople, Sea Fairies don't usually live IN the ocean.  But they DO live close by the ocean.  

Some Sea Fairies, like Marinia, are on very friendly terms with Sea Monsters.  These are also called Sea Dragons.  These Sea Monsters get a bad rap.  They are actually quite friendly with Merpeople and Sea Fairies.  Sea Monsters only attack mortal ships when they, the Sea Monsters, are threatened.  

Sea Monsters have their own kind of magic, and especially an ability to make mortals forget that they saw a Sea Monster. Of course, Sea Monsters don't always use this amnesia-causing ability, which is why there are old legends of Sea Monsters.  They were seen much more often in the age of sail and whaling because the Sea Monsters were sometimes mistaken for whales and attacked by whalers. 

Marinia is a beautiful Sea Fairy, but since she is especially friendly with the Sea Monsters, she is also called a Sea Monster Fairy.  She can fly through the air with her wings and fly through the sea with her wings... like a penguin does.  She often takes care of a Sea Monster Mother's single egg when hatching is imminent.  That is what she is doing here.  She will help raise the young Sea Monster until it is big enough to swim the oceans with his or her mother.

Shri rapax - a newly discovered Raptor Dinosaur

 This is my free coloring pages blog.  

Today, the new drawing is of a fairly newly discovered raptor dinosaur.

It is called Shri rapax.

Shri rapax

Shri rapax was a small raptor dinosaur that lived concurrently with the better-known Velociraptor.  Shri rapax was only 2 meters or around 7 feet long. It lived in what is now Mongolia.  It was about the same size as Velociraptor, but Shri had longer arms and longer sickle-like claws on its hands.  It almost certainly was a feathered dinosaur.  It had many bone evidences that show it was closely related to modern birds. 

The Pterosaur is a member of the Azhdarchidae family of Pterosaurs.  It is possibly a Nipponopterus or, more likely, a Burkant.  Both had a wingspan of up to 11 feet 6 inches or 3.5 meters wide. But Burkant lived in what is now Mongolia.  With limited fossilized material, it is possible that these are actually the same species.  By the way, Nipponopterus was found in Japan. The fossil remains of both are quite similar.

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

 This is my free coloring pages blog. I have drawn over 3000 pictures for you to print and color.

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.

 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.
