Another Spiritual Truth Cartoon

Christian parents can feel a lot of pressure to pass their faith on to their kids. That inspired me to draw this “another spiritual truth” cartoon.

Another spiritual truth cartoon. A boy says, "You're missing another opportunity to convey a spiritual truth to me."

It’s a challenge to pass our faith to our kids when there are so many voices screaming for our attention. Electronic messages prompt us to check our phones. Algorithms sort out the most outrageous messages so we can make a tempest from a teapot. Yes, it’s challenging to sort out what is really important!

Welcome to Camp Watchdalake. Where it isn’t camp until somebody falls into the lake! It gives us a chance to enjoy this camp safety cartoon.

Camp safety cartoon: A boy says, "Oh well. It's not camp until somebody falls into the lake."

For children, camp may be the first time when they have the opportunity to test their independence and see what happens when they test the limits of good sense. So safety can be an issue for some kids.

It’s a good day to get out of your comfort zone.

Whether the day is sunny, stormy, or just overcast, this day — and every day — is a good time to get out of your comfort zone.

Sketch of a weatherman saying it's a great day to get out of your comfort zone!"

I’ve thought a lot about comfort zones when I left everything I knew in Indiana and moved across the country to Arizona. The Spear family had many opportunities in 2015 to get out of their comfort zones.

And that’s a good thing. Like this Lifehacker post about the science of breaking out of your comfort zone shows, amazing results happen when you disrupt your routine and break out of your comfort zone.

Veterinary Hazards Cartoon

Every workplace has safety considerations. This veterinary hazards cartoon illustrates a potential challenge when vets care for pets.

Veterinary Hazards Cartoon. A boy says, "The problem with having a piranha is it's hard to find a willing veterinarian."

Apparently, animal-inflicted injuries are only part of the hazards a veterinarian faces. Here is a list of the top five hazards veterinary staff face. The one that surprised me is back injuries. But of course, pets can be a squirming, uncooperative challenge. At least you wouldn’t have that problem with a piranha!

Life Can Be as Messy as a Stinky Diaper

In the early stages of parenting, a stinky diaper is the worst thing that can happen. As your kids get older, other stinky things occur. Yes, life can be as messy as a stinky diaper!

  • You’re not quite sure if the friend your child is hanging with is a good influence.
  • You’ve overcommitted and now you and your spouse are supposed to be at four different events at the same time.
  • You’ve stretched the checking account so far you could make a lethal slingshot out of it.

It doesn’t take much imagination to see the problems and distractions around us. The bigger challenge is to address the messy situations before they get out of control.
