How can the mind comprehend that which it does not know? We break free of one constriction only to find out, in due time, that we’ve only agreed to a slightly larger one. Freedom now! Could we handle it? Acquire the original or download this cartoon to print and hang, etc., etc., for just... Read more
I’m happy to say my new book, Without a Vision My People Prosper, will be available on Amazon in a few days! It is a collection of my sustained rant against visionary thinking in the church, along with about 50 related cartoons. Even though I am not presently a pastor of a local congregation, I am still seriously interested in how it’s done. I still consider myself in the game, even though many think I’ve disqualified myself. I’m passionate about... Read more
Sometimes the question wants to take over. Sometimes it does. Sometimes we feel like we are living under and dwelling in the shadow of the almighty question.

So we get two Thanksgivings a year. Have a great one! Much love to all. Acquire the original or download this cartoon to print and hang,... Read more

So… Last night’s nakedpub at the University of New Brunswick in Saint John was awesome. It was a small but intimate and vocal group and we had some great discussions all around the idea of the value of questions. Next we’re planning one for Moncton and Halifax.

So many people take a literal interpretation of the bible. I used to. I remember that absolutely terrifying and traumatizing day when I could no longer do so. I fell down a very deep hole. Bottomless, in fact. But that’s what happens when you choose the red pill. People misinterpret this as a disrespect of scripture. Not so. In fact, I think it is a deeper respect of scripture to appreciate its fuller meaning, significance and authority. I know I... Read more
