David Hayward: grafitti artist on the walls of religion.
There's always someone to love. We can start with ourselves and work out from there. Sure, there are risks involved. But the reward is worth it. I see two people right now that I can love. Plus my dog. And there's a whole world out there. There's no sending needed. They're already here. … [Read more...]
Whenever anyone says that the church has abandoned Jesus, I take that accusation seriously. Lots of people notice... anyone from comedian Bill Maher who says that Christians obviously aren't following Jesus' instructions to Gandhi who said that he liked Christ but he did not like Christians because they are so unlike Christ... I take this seriously. But so do church theologians who find clever ways to theologically explain away this incongruence... such as we are born miserable sinners and … [Read more...]
I'm continuing to work on Sophia. My goal is to have 52 drawn so that I can create a book with a drawing per week along with meditations, poetry, stories, and testimonials from fans of Sophia... what she means to you.

I kid you not: this is a weekly anxiety for many pastors. When you have the building, staff and expenses of all kinds, the amount of weekly offerings is crucial. It can mean life or death. Every every every pastor wants to know what the "take" is every Sunday as soon as it is counted. I've heard of some pastors wanting to know via a sign at the back so that if they were lower than needed he could preach up more money. I was at one service where the offering plate was passed around 5 times. I kid … [Read more...]
This is one of those times when I was drawing what I didn't understand. Only as I was drawing it did it begin to dawn on me what my subconscious was communicating. Remember: Sophia is me. Sophia is you. Sophia is having a nightmare in which she is confronted with her worst fear: dismemberment, dis-integration, dis-jointedness. As many of you know from Sophia's story, her earlier years were not pleasant. She grew up under a severity, an abuse fueled by religious belief. I tried to portray this … [Read more...]
