I've always liked the look of the Felix the Cat character but have not seen too many of his cartoons. I got quite a chuckle from this one found on Archive.org
Although it doesn't use any biblical reference it finds similar comedy in the evolutionary perspective. Enjoy the silent cartoon - just over 11 min.

I responded to a post from Voice in DC a few weeks ago that got me thinking about my trust in our Lord & the process of revelation that I journeyed through to get to the relationship I have with Him today. I firmly believe that I am a lifelong learner & that my growth & faith does not stop at one moment. If you click on the link to the other post you will hear the song & see that it is referencing "the hour I first believed." I wanted to share my story with you all as well.
** I grew up going sporadically to Catholic church with my parents on separate occasions because they were divorced when I was 2. I never really had a unified front to learn about Christianity but I knew many bible stories & my dad would talk about being saved from a church that he went to before I was born. My mom faded away from the Catholic church because they frowned heavily upon divorce in the 80's & my dad never got plugged into a church because he often worked 7 days a week. When I was in 8th grade (13 years old) I had friends who invited me to go to youth groups with them at a few different Baptist churches. I really enjoyed learning about the bible & I first accepted Jesus into my heart at a Christian concert because I knew at that time that I obviously believed in the Bible & believed that Jesus had come to sacrifice Himself for me. I did not get baptized because having a background in Catholicism I didn't understand the difference between Christening & Baptism. I didn't wholly understand what it meant to be a Christ-follower until I learned to give Him control of my choices, talk with Him daily & seek His counsel in my decisions. That turning point in my heart happened in Spring 2005 when I fully realized that I could not & would not have complete control of everything that happened in my life.
I was a very independant, determined college graduate who was strategically following my career path when an unexpected job change left me uprooted & feeling quite out of control. (Isn't that right where God wants us? =) Amazing how He can use any trial to give us joy by turning our focus from ourselves to Him!) On the evening of Tuesday February 22, 2005 I literally fell to my knees in tears & gave all control to the Lord (I was 25) - I put the job decision in his hands with complete trust & the next day I had the job offer I knew God had provided. In the fall of 2005 that company "miraculously" transferred me to California when my Husband recieved his orders from the Marine Corps. When we found our new church home here in California I finally understood what it meant to choose to be baptized in obedience to God & I have continued to grow & serve ever since.
So my numbers are 13 & 25 =)
Jeremiah 29:11-13
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you & not to harm you, plans to give you hope & a future. Then you will call upon Me, & come & pray to Me, & I will listen to you. You will seek Me & find Me when you seek Me with all your heart."
