Life’s Little Traffic Jams

by Jason 02.17.2010 Have Faith

[This post originally appeared on Dad-O-Matic, a cool site for Dads, by Dads.]
We bought our daughter one of those little primary-colored push car toys for her first birthday. It gets great gas mileage and holds up amazingly well in crashes, of which there have been many so far.
The other day, she got herself caught in [...]

Watching Angels Dance

ShareLucy is one year old today. Happy Birthday, Lucy Ruth!
She’s in that cute stage where she reaches out for things that she wants. Typically, her reach is accompanied by a grunt, as if to say, “gimmie that!” On Sunday morning in church, as I held my bundle of energy (not unlike wrestling a cat), [...]

Anticipating The City of Blinding Lights

by Jason 09.20.2009 Have Faith

Sometimes I miss the anticipation of Christmas Eve. Trying to will myself to sleep as my mind raced imagining what Santa might leave under the tree seemed a lot like torture at the time.

by Jason 09.06.2009 Have Faith

Last week Kim and I enjoyed a much-needed date night. We went out to a nice Italian restaurant and wanted to see a movie. 500 Days of Summer and Funny People were at the top of our list, but we couldn’t decide which we’d rather see. I suggested that we flip a coin and let [...]

Bonk

by Jason 07.05.2009 Have Faith

One of my favorite words is “bonk.” And if this little chicken nugget of of information doesn’t give away my background as a cartoonist, I suppose nothing will. Perhaps you will be as surprised as I was to discover that “bonk” is actually a word. For real. I didn’t find it in my old Webster’s [...]

Shedding Light On What Keeps You Up At Night

by Jason 06.28.2009 Have Faith

Share
When you were little, were you ever afraid of the dark? I sure was. From horns and hair to scabs and skeletons, thinking about what lurked among the shadows was an all-you-can-eat buffet for my imagination.
In fact, I may not have made it through childhood without that humble but powerful life-saving device known as the [...]

Your Recession-Proof Inner Child

by Jason 02.19.2009 Dream Big

Old people are often accused of being stuck in their ways.
“Old” is a relative term, though. It does seem to be that as our age climbs, we tend to get more comfortable and less open to change. But that can begin to happen just as easily when you’re in your twenties as when you’re taking [...]
