Most
of the colouring books I do on this blog are for adults, but today I
have a book geared at the younger set.... particularly those youngsters
who like Darth Vadar and the different characters from Star Wars.
Jeffrey Brown has put together a colouring book called Darth Vadar and Family.
Do you
like Star Wars? Are you children lovers of this long-running series?
I have to admit, I like watching the movies though I am not a die-hard
fanatic. :)
Both
my son and husband have a firm fondness for this series and frequently
rewatch the movies. I am just delighted they have a movie interest to
share in common.
In this colouring book, Jeffrey Brown combines normal family life with the characters and life of the Star Wars movies.
What do you think? Would it be fun to go sledding with Star Wars Characters, or share a hot cocoa with Darth Vadar himself?
Or go
engage in a spot of friendly fishing...who knows who will catch the
biggest one...as long as they don't use the light saber on the poor
fish.
Each
page is one sided, which prevents bleed through, and if carefully done,
would tear out to make for great refrigerator art. (if the pages were
perforated it would make tear out easier).
I
appreciate that this book has simpler drawings that children can colour
in, they can imagine (and laugh about) the idea of Darth Vadar playing
the role of dad. Or Chewbacca being one of the kids or heading up into a
tree fort with one the Ewoks.
It's a
fun, fanciful approach to using Star Wars Characters. It will appeal
to some or ... if they are like my lad .. "BUT MOM!!! Chewbacca would
never do anything with Darth Vadar!!!!!" So depending on what your
child(ren) are like, this may or may not be the colouring book for you.
One of the small gems of this book is on the inside front cover when Mr. Brown gives the reader a "Darth Vadar drawing lesson".

Todays' bible passage comes from Ezekiel 40:44-49.
Before today I didn't know that the priests split their duties. Some priests would be in charge of the temple and other priests in charge of the altar.
I also wasn't aware that ONLY the sons of Zadok were allowed to "come near to the Lord to minister to him". Only them. I knew vaguely there were some divisions in the priesthood, but it was just a vague thing .. you know?
I just figured it was divided up by seniority and whatever each family within the priesthood liked to do. But here I realized that God had it all sorted out.
44 On the outside of the inner gateway there were two chambers in the inner court, one at the side of the north gate facing south, the other at the side of the south gate facing north. 45 And he said to me, “This chamber that faces south is for the priests who have charge of the temple, 46 and the chamber that faces north is for the priests who have charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who alone among the sons of Levi may come near to the Lord to minister to him.” 47 And he measured the court, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits broad, a square. And the altar was in front of the temple.
48 Then he brought me to the vestibule of the temple and measured the jambs
of the vestibule, five cubits on either side. And the breadth of the
gate was fourteen cubits, and the sidewalls of the gate were three cubits on either side. 49 The length of the vestibule was twenty cubits, and the breadth twelve cubits, and people would go up to it by ten steps. And there were pillars beside the jambs, one on either side.
A cubit is 45.72 centimetres OR 18 inches.
So the inner court is 150 feet square. The door jams are 7.5 feet.
Can you imagine door jambs that large? It gives you an idea of the overall size.
But more importantly... God had all the details worked out. ALL of them. From where the priests served, to what family could approach him in ministry, to the size of the building they served in. God took all the guess work and politics out of the picture.
Rather cool that.
