Illustration Friday: Neighbor

We are naturally curious, especially about neighbors. We ask, “What’s going on over there?” The thing about kids is they are less subtle in their curiosity!

Illustration Friday: Remember


My kids love the time at the beach. My son has a bag of shells he collected from our last trip. They always bring back good memories.

Church moving countdown

Our church is getting ready to move into a new building this June. My boss is writing an article for our church newsletter. She asked if I could create a cartoon to go with it.

Here are the sketches in my book

And here is the final cartoon. Caption reads: “He is counting down the days until we move into the new church.”

Illustration Friday: Fortune

This week’s theme for Illustration Friday is “Fortune.”

When I thought of the word, fortune, two things came to mind; children are more valuable than any amount of cash and the time we spend with them is priceless.

Some of the best times I’ve had with my kids were reading to them. It was a thrill to see how they would react to a new book. Now, when they wanted to read the same book for the fiftieth time, well, that got a little old!

Even if they wanted the same book, there was something special about reading to my kids. It’s something nobody can get from watching television.

Today, when I see my kids reading to themselves, I think about the times before they could read and how much they have changed. Kids are a blessing… and they’re worth a fortune!

Singing praises

The kids were watching “American Idol” last night. Singing can be a hazardous activity. Always be sure to take adequate precautions!
