Cartoon of a pastor with a bird on his head. The pastor says, “Some of you may have noticed the roof needs fixed.”
I drew this for the February, 2013, Church of God e-newsletter.

If you serve any time in children’s ministry or a nonprofit, you will inevitably hear someone ask, “How do you find a volunteer?”
I love it when someone finds a new volunteer. You can smell the anxiety as they wonder if the children will eat them alive. Relax! That never happens… at least, it never literally happens.
I remember feeling that anxiety. Today I realize it wasn’t as much about the kids as it was about trying something new. Yes, I felt awkward and unprepared when I began teaching in Sunday school. But today, I see stepping out of my comfort zone was worth it.
Are you afraid of trying something new that will stretch you? Accept the uncomfortable feelings and do it anyway. You’ll be glad you did.
I drew this cartoon for Kidzmatter Magazine.
Editor’s Note: I originally published this blog on October 6, 2015. I revamped and updated it for timeliness and comprehensiveness.
Cartoon of a man talking to another while a box of Valentine chocolates hurls towards them. The man says, “When she sees my Valentine gift to her, she’ll forget our fight. She can’t resist chocolate!”
I can’t recall this actually happening to me, though I probably deserved it more than once. I am thankful for my valentine of twenty-six years. I promise not to start a fight today, or in the near future… if I can help it!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Cartoon of two boys at church. One has his hands up. The other says, “We don’t do that at this church. Someone is going to think you’re being robbed.”

Cartoon: Quick Seasons
Cartoon of two boys. One is dressed for winter, while the other is in summer clothes. One says, “The seasons changed? No one told me.”
I used to think it was cool going out in the winter air without a coat. The first time I caught walking pneumonia tempered my excitement in that arena. Now that I’m older, I find myself flailing my arms and speaking in a shrill voice to my children who want to go out in sub zero weather in shorts and flip flops. I guess the chickens have come home to roost.
At least they can’t say no one ever told them.
