it's a powerful image for the passage of time that ALSO doubles as a reminder of when Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday (Observed) is

Ever since I started using Google Reader I've really gotten into Dinosaur Comics. They're webcomics drawn by this Canadian guy named Ryan North, and they're HILARIOUS - totally my kind of humour. Each comic uses the same six artwork panels, and only the dialogue changes from comic to comic. The characters are called T-Rex (the green one), Dromiceiomimus (the little white one) and Utahraptor (the one with big claws). T-Rex is my favourite. The comics can be found at www.qwantz.com.

This one is called "it's a powerful image for the passage of time that ALSO doubles as a reminder of when Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday (Observed) is". It makes more sense after you've read the comic.

If the practical difficulties like custom print, cost and volume of paper utilised could be dealt with, I reckon I'd totally get one of these life calendars. As T-Rex says, it's a powerful image and a reminder of our finite lives. Much more so than regular one-year calendars, right? As well as making me chuckle, this comic reminded me of Psalms 90:12, "So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom." We're only here for a brief time, and we have to make our lives count for something. Fulfil the purpose we were created for, you know? Stay grounded, be humble, live in wonder. Yeah.

Keep on keeping on.
