Description: 3 frames. 1: Jesus takes a selfie, 2: Jesus looks at the picture he took, 3: we see the faces of all kinds of people. This is one of my favorite older prints but people still get it and I send them everywhere. It's similar in theme to my cartoon "Jesus Looks in the Mirror".  The message? We are all connected. We are all one.

Description: Jesus says to his disciples, "I send you out as sheep among wolves." One of them says to another, "I'm going to take that to mean he's sending us out as wolves among sheep." SHEEP AMONG WOLVES AMONG SHEEP You'd think some people actually do this. They take the beautiful basic message of love and some of the most lovely sayings of Jesus and twist them all into their total opposites. They say their hate is actually an expression of love. They say their regulations are actually required by grace. They say their rigidity is actually a form of...

Two circles overlap. One side says, “The good earth of your life.” The other, “The bad shit of your life.” The overlap says, “The rich compost soil of your life from which your amazing self grows.” THE COMPOST OF YOUR LIFE Soil alone is good.

It’s nicknamed “farmer’s gold” because it’s such a rich resource for fertile soil. It’s the same with our lives. We think that we are better...

A graph. On the right: “How much I miss the church”. The bottom: “How much I realize I can’t go back”. The arrow goes up diagonally.  The thing most of us miss about church is community. There’s a documentary about a cult by an escaped member. He interviewed others who’d left. They cried about the abuse. They also cried because they missed community. They feared they’d never experience community again. It was the family they never had. Now it’s gone. Me too! I’ve served charismatic leaders in the church. I experienced intense community. But this was also where I experienced...

Hooked on Each Other Hooked on Love Jesus and a rainbow sheep are fishing together in a boat. They are both hooked on a big heart. They are happy. I'm going to make a generalization. People who are affirming are happier. Love makes people happy. Hate makes people miserable.  If you want to be happy, learn how to love. Then you will learn how to be loved. Then you will learn how to be affirming, inclusive, and a beautiful presence in the world. Seriously...  Want to be happier? Be affirming!
