I like having a child getting the best of a ghost. Perhaps it’s a little of those “Casper, the Friendly Ghost,” cartoons that affect my wish. ‘Tis the time of year where things go bump in the night.
I’ve decided I need to focus more on my illustration. There is a site called Illustration Friday. It gives a topic and illustrators give their take on a word that week. Here is my take on the word, “smitten.”
I began with five thumbnail sketches on the topic. I chose the bottom corner one because I liked the way it told a story. What happened before this moment? Will Cupid and the girl win. Is there a conspiracy going on? Stay tuned!

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.

Get in the Boat!
We had a guest pastor at our church last Sunday named Obadiah Smith. He was speaking on dreams ant his text was in Luke 8:22. It was a great sermon on how our dreams will come true on the other side if we do the following. You can see my sermon notes above. This is how I pay attention and get the most out of a sermon.
- Step in the boat (you need to get started!)
- Push away
- Turn away
- Sail away
Yes, we may meet those storms just like Jesus did, but when our dreams are in sync with God’s amazing things happen!

Boardin’ Pastor
I used this cartoon for a cartoon caption contest on Yahoo’s Christian Humor Writing Group. I heard several great captions but the winner was Crystal Miller with…
“ This kind of lightening bolt wasn’t what Rev. Thomas expected for his Sunday morning sermon.”
It’s fun to see what someone else would write as a caption to you own cartoon.
