Buy the original. Buy a print. Great story. Grace. Unending patience. Compassion. Taking care of expenses. Checking in. Disregarding one’s own safety for the sake of another. It is so exhilarating to hear this story played out again and again… when it is played out. If only this was what we were solely famous for.

Sometimes it’s okay to share. Sometimes it’s not okay to compromise. Which is what this fellow would like to do. What is best for others is not always best for us. Sometimes commitment, loyalty and devotion bring out the very best in us. Which is why sometimes it’s best not to be shared. Buy my cartoons and art!

I’m giving away a unique prize package today. First, I’m giving away a wonderful book by Dylan Morrison, The Prodigal Prophet: Tired of plastic, packaged religion? Then read on. Dylan Morrison, the Prodigal Prophet, comments on the mystical sayings of the Christian mystics as well as introduces a new take on the spirituality of Yeshua and his message for mankind. Dylan comes to the conclusion that leaders need followers, and followers need leaders, and in that co-dependency lies the problem.... Read more
Here’s an old cartoon from over 5 years ago when I first started. Language is very important. It can be very miscommunicated and very misunderstood. Which reminds me: why are there so many cats and dogs on Facebook? Is there a Petbook? Or Dogbook? Or Catbook? Don’t misunderstand me. I have a dog. I’ve had cats. I’ve never “taken them out”. If you get my meaning. So many people think they are obeying God and doing him a favor by... Read more

Everyone knows what happens if you rock the boat. Everyone knows what happens when you buck the system. That’s why those who rock the boat and buck the system should be commended. Sometimes the boat you’re in needs to be rocked. Rock it! Sometimes the system who rides you needs to be bucked. Buck it! Count the cost. Jesus knew exactly what the cost was. He was so certain that he could predict it. I don’t think it was divining.... Read more
Email me if you want to purchase the original cartoon. Or buy a fine art scanned print of the original. Check it out here! Those with authority, those with power, those in control, believe that freedom can be doled out by degrees. Longer leashes. Bigger cages. Then people like Moses or Jesus or M.L. King Jr. or Gandhi come along and they challenge that lie. Because they saw that freedom is not just a bigger cage. If you haven’t bought... Read more
I used to think that the church I was the pastor of was either good or bad. But then I grew up and realized that wasn’t fair. Nor accurate. That was taking a snapshot view of the church rather than a movie version. The movie version is preferable. Like the last church where I was the pastor: at times it was awesome and at times it was terrible. Most of the time it just was. There were seasons of mundane... Read more
email me if you want to purchase the original cartoon. Or buy a fine art print of it here. The other day I drew a cartoon and wrote a short commentary called via de la question in which I shared my journey with the question, “Does God exist?“. One reader asked, “So what answer did you come up with?” The answer I came up with was a bigger question. In exchange for a smaller question… if we can handle it…... Read more
Here’s a recipe for spiritual abuse: Person A has a character flaw. Person A occupies a position of power. Person B renders authority to this person. This is just one of the recipes. How it is mixed and cooked depends on the situation. It can be singular, sporadic, steady, or cyclical. It isn’t right to just blame the perpetrator (character flaw). This is why it isn’t right to just blame the system (position of power). And this is why it’s... Read more
