Preacher's Kids Comics

Lighten Up!

There's enough pain, suffering and stress to go around. Jesus said that while we are in this world we shall have tribulation, not may have. Though this is not very encouraging, it is necessary that we know what we're up against. The Lord is not trying to discourage us in our journey but prepare us for the road ahead. Because of His great love for us, He desires to impart everything necessary to have a joy filled life in Him.

This being the foundation of the warning sign of coming tribulation, we can now move to the next sign that reads, Lighten up! Well not really, it actually reads, be of good cheer I have overcome the world. If that promise doesn't ooze, "I got this," then nothing does. Jesus is so amazing and limitless. He tells us trouble is imminent and in the same breath proclaims we will not be overtaken as long as we look to Him.

The passion to write and illustrate a comic strip is found in this truth, that Jesus knows the world is going to be ugly and mean, yet if we gaze in His direction He has an abundance of joy, peace, happiness and yes, laughter to experience. His supply is without end, and it is His desire that we are filled with His joy and peace.

Make sure you take time to laugh today, even if you laugh at yourself, which I do quite often. Be careful you're not consumed by the weight of everyday life and spend some quality time with Christ. We know the Lord has a sense of humor; He made us.

Enjoy this collection of Preacher's Kids comic strips that span over 14 years. Hopefully they will bring a smile, perhaps stir a memory of being in a similarly humorous situation or most importantly cause you to think about the wonderful Savior who gave everything, so we could live and have life eternal.

Remember Jesus said if we refuse to become as a little child we cannot enter His kingdom, and what child is not filled with contagious laughter?

May God bless you and grant you a life filled with all the greatness He has to offer,
