Praise and Worship-py

Worship wars have been around for at least forty years. I take that back. According to this article, they may have been around at least 700 AD! My experience inspired me to draw this praise and worship cartoon.

Cartoon of a rock guitarist and guy in a tie. The guy with the tie says, "That was great, Spike. But can you make it a bit more worship-py?"

I hear the term “blended worship” batted around a lot and I like that approach. While I love to hear a pianist play older hymns, I a modern band playing a current praise and worship tune. And I can even welcome the bare-footed, punk rock worshipper as well. I guess that’s how I roll… all over the place.

Nature’s April Fool

I don’t know what the weather is like where you are. But in Indiana and Ohio, we’ve had a few times when the weather on April fools day has been quite the joke!

Cartoon of boy and girl with snowman. She says, "I can't stand it when nature throws us an April fools joke." April fools day

Two days ago, the temperature was in the seventies. But today, we’ll be lucky to see the forties in Ohio. Parts of the state may even have snow. Happy April fools day!

Bad, Bad Hair

Some people have bad hair days. Others take it to an extreme sport. Whenever I read a Doctor Seuss book, I think of the poor people who have manes that go beyond manageable. Are there any stylists in Whoville?

Whenever I think of this term, I also think of two projects. First, there is Weird Al Yankovic’s 1996 album. Since I drew this cartoon, The Disney Channel also produced a film by that name.

As a guy, the older I get, the more thankful I am to have any of the stuff on top. To me, the only bad hair day is one with no locks.

Too Young, Too Old

I remember when it was the generation or two before me that said, “Just wait until you’re my age!” Now that I am that age, I still wonder what they were talking about.

Making Lemonade

If life hands us lemons, we can get good at making lemonade. And if you start a lemonade stand, provide good customer service, right? That said, I have seen great customer service representatives take a trying situation and make the best of it. That can be tough when circumstances out of their control bring angry customers into their lives.

Are you tired of making the best of a situation? I suppose we can try what Stephen Lyons suggested in the Chicago Tribune and suck on some misery. But beware of taking satire as gospel truth! One thing he makes clear in his commentary is if we think things are bad now, we could always find ways to make things worse. Conversely, the opposite must be true: we can always find ways to improve our situation.
