My beloved Kathilynn, It’s been twenty years now since God had mercy on me and showed me how much I was loved, forever changing the path I would walk the rest of my days. I still remember the moment my eyes rested upon you. That first smile that sill makes my heart race. The amazing smile that makes the butterflies...
read moreSince my oldest was born, Ditto, who’s now 18, we had a bed time ritual and lights out of 7:00pm. That meant after dinner we would get the little ones cleaned up, into the PJ’s and then settle down for a bed time story, sometimes two, where they could cuddle on mom and dad’s bed and have time directed to their...
read moreThis is a touchy subject for me as a parent, because I feel it’s so important. Some will agree, some won’t and I have met many who simply don’t care. A child should have good associations. That means having friends that you approve of and have influence in such connections. Can you monitor everything? Not likely....
read moreOne of the fun aspects of being an artist is using the tools and shaping your new creation, bringing it to life. Going into an art store was one of my favorite places in thew world, walking down the isles looking for the fine brushes, testing ink or shopping for the perfect paper. I could lose myself or hours looking for the right...
read moreThis may sound like a simple matter, but trust me when I say it deserves a measure of time for your consideration. Do you have an idea for your eComic? Sure, Brit-Boy is a Superhero from the UK, who has the phenomenal power of mind-over-cheese. He can also flip nunchakus of Leafield at deadly speeds, and slide under doors by...
read moreWe have talked about love and now I would like to dive into something I am passionate about on a deeper level, and that is a child’s security. As I remarked in the beginning, a human child is by far the weakest, most dependent animal when born. Its survival is completely dependent upon its parents. Now introduce the world as...
read moreI have been talking about love as a right a child should expect from a parent. In the previous article, principle based love was mentioned, to which a reader connected to ‘unconditional love’. I agree. What conflicts in my mind however (and this is only my opinion here, BTW) is the misunderstood application of...
read moreThe state of the world disturbs me. It becomes almost unbearable to listen to the current news, to read the newspapers and listen to the lives taken, the violence, the atrocities against children in every part of the world…especially in our own backyard. As a father of 10+1 and a brother of 18, the thought of a person harming...
read moreI’m sitting here at the Riverton Library in Utah and watching an adorable brother and sister (not more than 3 years old), sheepishly follow behind their mother. The little boy saw a colorful book on one of the lower display cases and reached out to touch it…bringing down the entire display, crashing to the floor. The...
read moreAt my mom’s funeral in Riverton, Utah it was storming. Ice cold rain and wind. There were tents and chairs, but I stood in the rain. My wife and kids asked me to come under the canape, but I ignored everyone. I was in shock. The cold water soaking into my suit and rolling over my skin helped my mind to numb. I remember a lot...
