Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

No man is an island…but a frog is!
“Hi-ho Kermit, Away!!!”
“I really need to quit eating so much cheese.”
The tale of St. Christopher was greatly exaggerated.
Stuart Little III: The Frog Wars
But the mouse, having attended a public high school that taught Of Mice and Men rather than Hesiod, was taken completely by surprise.
The Mouse and the Frog, seen swimming together shortly before the arrival of the Hawk.
Hmmm, a frog-mouse union makes a “fromo”??

**Nothing spoils a good Internet joke like having to explain it because of a technology failure.**
From Aesop’s Fables:
A MOUSE who always lived on the land, by an unlucky chance formed an intimate acquaintance with a Frog, who lived for the most part in the water. The Frog, one day intent on mischief, bound the foot of the Mouse tightly to his own. Thus joined together, the
Frog first of all led his friend the Mouse to the meadow where they were accustomed to find their food. After this, he gradually led him towards the pool in which he lived, until reaching the very brink, he suddenly jumped in, dragging the Mouse with him. The Frog enjoyed the water amazingly, and swam croaking about, as if he had done a good deed. The unhappy Mouse was soon suffocated by the water, and his dead body floated about on the surface, tied to the foot of the Frog. A Hawk observed it, and, pouncing upon it with his talons, carried it aloft. The Frog, being still fastened to the leg of the Mouse, was also
carried off a prisoner, and was eaten by the Hawk.
I still think Hesiod is more apropos to the photo than Aesop.
“Are you SURE he’ll turn into Mickey if I kiss him?”
“I hate sneaking around like this, but I hear that Miss Piggy has a black belt in karate.”
What the well-dressed frog will be wearing this year.
“Atleast I haven’t got a monkey on my back.”
He ain’t heavy…he’s my Brother-Rat!”
All right…I’ll stop for a while(and the masses cheer!).
The newest fur hatware for this season.
Species-blind casting for Aesop’s “The Frog and the Scorpion”
New organic mouse-trap technology is suprisingly effective.
One of these days I’m gonna have this annoying frog-shaped growth removed!
Oh great! That’s NOT the place I wanted to get warts!
Very funny, Jimmy.
I suppose this hapless frog, receiving a bath-salt medication for rodentitus, would like to know that you are exploiting his malady for some cheap laughs! I hear that run-over possums are hilarious, too!
At least I’M not with the goats on this one!

David B.,
I was waiting for somebody to post something like that one!!!
H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S!!!
Thank you, Esau.
This photo just proves that bein’ green has never REALLY been easy. Stupid Kermit.
Hey, I’m also president of the Personality Cult for Kermit, so back off!
(Now, where dem’ Frog Legs resteraunt plans go???)
After days of struggle, the epic battle between amphibian and rodent eroded into a dull but relaxing stalemate.
Well I’ll be. Rick Santorum was right.
Why has nobody posted this yet?!?
Said the mouse to the frog, “No! It is I who will eat you!”

Jamie Beu,
I was just about to! Now I got nothin’.
That poor mouse. How dare you make a mockery out of his helplessness. It’s obvious that the frog is doing something charitable for the mouse, and you’re using it to get your jollies. One would think that a Catholic apologist such as yourself would understand what charity is all about.
Sheesh.
“I gotta tell ya, Mr. Toad’s wild ride is so overrated!”

David B.,
I think you’ve got some competition from Jeff here!
As for me, I’m glad I’m not as spiritually destitute as the rest of ya folks! (NOT!)
;^)
You got it Jeff Vehige! What’s next?! I suppose someone is going to say that the frog looks like Yoda or the alien from The Last Star Fighter?! What kindness and charity displayed by all you idiots who posted hear — all y’all! If that was a mouse on Jimmy Akin I bet all you members of the Jimmy Akin personality cult wouldn’t be so fast to crack your jokes then, would ya now, huh?! Jeff, you and I are so much better than these arrogant self-righteous fools! Until I see more charitable postings and I get a personal public apology from Jimmy Akin that I can post on my personal website, I am so not visiting this pathetic site again for awhile!
For fairly new visitors: kidding!

Okay, John E. won it (I think) hands-down!
“C’mon Mr. Frodo-rat! I can’t carry it for you, but I can carry you!”
John E: LOL!
2007 January Photo Caption Awards go to: John E.

“Yes, that Island … how much for the ride, again?
Frog: “I live in two worlds. I’m dangerous.”
Mouse: “I don’t care, you move me.”
How pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!
There’s a mouse on the frog, on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea……
Jiminy Cricket, no one picked up on the obvious one:
Froggie went a’courtin’ and he did ride,
With Miss Mousie by his side …
Hey, my wife may look like a toad, but I do love her!
“Sure, he swims a lot better than me; but it’s murder on my skin.”
Elements of the 2nd Battalion of the US Marine Corp Rodentia Brigade embarked upon their first amphibious assault.
“…and as the flood waters from Hurricane Katrina slowly receded, even the city rats, cruelly abandoned by the Bush Administration, were forced to find refuge anywhere they could. Anderson Cooper, CNN, New Orleans.”
Look! It’s Reepicheep on the Dawn-toader, heading to Aslan’s Country!
….”Honey…for our next vacation you need to take a tour with me of the Nabisco bakery!”
“Towed by a toad”
No, y’all got it all wrong! This is obviously a publicity still from the forthcoming CGI Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles movie! That’s Donatello & Splinter!
Before that incident with the radioactive canister.
(Isn’t it always a radioactive canister?)
Anyway, the graphics are amazing. So photo-realistic!
Get along, little froggie!
“That’s the last time I’ll ever book a cruise from *that* Mickey Mouse travel agency!”
“If this is the Catholic Answers cruise, where are Jimmy and Karl?”
