I Love My Old Biblical Parenting Cartoon
Description: "Biblical Parenting"... A man says to his wife, "Honey, I'm fed up with our lousy kids. Let's keep Noah, drown the others and start over. If the next batch doesn't turn out either, we'll keep the good ones and burn the rest." Often a response to my cartoons is, "Oh wow I never thought of it that way before!"

Is Your God Smaller Than Your Bible?
A man is trying to squeeze God into the Bible, saying, "Come on God! You just HAVE to fit in there!" IS YOUR GOD SMALLER THAN YOUR BIBLE?

God and Gay Pride
I'm surprised I still have the original drawing of this cartoon. And prints! I went to a pride parade with a church in Dallas several years ago. One of the most profound experiences I've ever had. Love is real!
