Cartoon of a boy celebrating. The caption says, “When summer break came, Mark couldn’t help but worship.”
In the United states, the kids are itching for summer vacation. I remember how exuberant everyone felt at the end of the school year. It took about three days before the kids were bored and we were looking for something to do. It isn’t until you become adult do you realize quiet, boring times are a real gift. The trick is to live each day as the celebration it is.
This cartoon has a man at a desk and telephone. He says, “Hey Ed. It’s Pastor Mark. If you really wanted to send that comment anonymously, you shouldn’t use your home email address.”
There are ways to send anonymous emails, but I’m not telling. Besides, if you think you have to say it anonymously, you probably shouldn’t say it at all.
This cartoon has two men looking at plans. One says, “The new Education Wing will utilize renewable energy by tapping into the power of preschoolers.”
I love the energy of preschoolers! I believe some of their energy comes from the excitement they feel when they are discovering new things. When the whole world is yours to discover, it naturally gives a little energy boost.
This morning, I think I’ll talk with a preschooler and look at the world through his eyes. It’s pretty amazing to see things new again. It may give me an energy boost!
Cartoon of a guy saying, “Thanks to an intense exercise program, I’ve gone from a 98-pound weakling to a 100-pound powerhouse.”
People who know me call me an exercise nut. I probably look more like the 100-pound “powerhouse” since I run more than anything else.
This cartoon reminds me how we view ourselves can be more important than our actual appearance. I’ve seen an average Joe be the life of the party because he had a high view of himself.
So hold your head high and flex those powerhouse muscles!
A guy dressed as a monk says, “It’s amazing how backward I feel when my computer crashes.”
Have you ever though what would you do if your computer crashed and you lost everything? I love my computer but I also love having my sketchbook close by. I was horrified when I was away from pen and paper for a while and saw how atrocious my penmanship could become.
The other day, I thought about my scores of sketchbooks versus the thousands of files on my computer. Both are fragile. Paper burns and computers crash. But there is something about the sketchbooks that make it more likely they will last after I am gone. Paper is at least a little harder to dispose of than a computer’s memory.
