Taking Tests

God gave Abraham quite a test! I’m glad the tests I experience are less extreme.

Jacob Hidden Picture


I did this illustration for Warner Press the other day. It’s a hidden picture illustration on Genesis 28, Jacob’s ladder. I do these illustrations for a children’s bulletin book. It’s available through WP’s bulletin subscription service. So, can you find the five things different in the pictures?

Jonah Boards a ship

This is a sketch based a project I was doing at Warner Press. It is from the story of Jonah.

“But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the LORD.”
Jonah 1:3 (niv)

Man! this guy thought the story ended there. Jonah is about to be rudely awaken!

1 Peter 1:13-15

I did this devotional this morning while I was waiting for everyone to get ready for Thanksgiving. It’s a good thing for me to remember as I go through the fun of a holiday weekend and the start of the Christmas season. 1 Peter is full of such good stuff. You can tell Peter had lived out his faith and proved his faithfulness through many years.

Stepping Out of Our Comfort Zones

So what’s your motivation to step out of the boat this week? Mine came from a sermon courtesy of Jeff Matas. I don’t want tredmill spirituality this week. (Or the next week for that matter.)

By the way, Jeff is the guy preaching in the far right drawing. He really does have more hair than that. Too bad for him I didn’t have my reading glasses with me.
