Quiet Reflection

It's school time again! The running, yelling and pushing abounds on the playgrounds and the classrooms. I was a quiet kid, so I can imagine wanting a little bit of that quiet reflection. Heaven knows I certainly did a lot of praying in school.
"Dear God, please let their be something new for lunch. Please let their be a place for me at kickball. And Please help that one girl not to have cooties!"

Spiritual Desert

Caption reads: "Ever feel like you're in a spiritual desert?"

My family just came back from a vacation in Arizona. I had not officially been to a desert until now. Now that I see this cartoon I did five years ago, I wonder if I need to revise the landscape. Nah! It fits the stereotype of a desert though it looks like nothing I saw out there.
