Cartoon Captions

Fall 2024 Caption Contest Winners

And the Winner Is …

“He said take only what you need, not manna for mañana!”
—Linda Varnes, Nampa, Idaho

Thank you to all those who submitted caption entries for our Spring 2024 cartoon, based on Exodus 16:15–16: “When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another, ‘What is it?’ For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, ‘It is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat. This is what the LORD has commanded: Gather as much of it as each of you needs, an omer to a person according to the number of persons, all providing for those in their own tents.’” We are pleased to congratulate Linda Varnes of Nampa, Idaho, who wrote the winning caption.
