My 23 year old son Joshua has given himself the enormous task of raising a significant amount of money for the Kids Help Phone over the next two days. I normally don’t do posts asking for money. But… this is my son who has started an incredible project… and this is a worthy charity to donate to.

Watch this video and pass it on, post it on your blog or your FaceBook page, Twitter about it… get the word out:

Lots of drama in my life right now. None of it is to do with me. Everyone else around me. Although I do start my new job on Monday teaching international students at Saint John College in the University of New Brunswick. ‘Nuff said.

This is my daughter Casile. Her name is my wife Lisa’s middle name. Lisa has Cherokee in her lineage… her grandmother. The name has Cherokee and Spanish roots.

You might remember Casile writing for nakedpastor not long ago. Casile turns 18 today. Our youngest child of 3 is now an adult. She’s going to Mount Allison in September to start her Arts degree. She is interested in writing and psychology. She’s also an artist.

I’m busy today getting ready for her party tonight. I’m a mixture of happy and sad, covered in a rich coating of pride.

There are so many changes in my life this summer. My head is spinning. But I’ve never been happier.

Oh: My first book of cartoons is finished. Get ready to get it any day now!

Blessings upon you all.

Lisa and I have been catching ourselves singing this song. We both like it very much. It’s from the song “Airplanes” by B.O.B. featuring Hayley Williams. The song is about returning to our original passion, the purity of our unsullied intention, the dream we used to have but lost. It’s about abandoning the false self that others have shaped, the false self we ourselves have been complicit in fashioning, and coming back to truer selves. And that’s something we’ve just made a decision to do. Lisa and I singing this song, we realize, is a kind of prayer.

I have some new paintings up.
Check out my cartoons and tees.
