Sarah and her Ativan

Last updated on: April 29, 2013 at 4:21 pm By David Hayward

Has this happened to you? It has happened to me. More than once. Almost never a good thing. Not the Ativan, but the anxiety. Want to hear something strange? Whenever I see a cop or a patrol car my stomach sinks. It’s just automatic. I don’t know why. My dad was a cop for his entire career. So I know that there are good cops. But I still have this wave of anxiety wash over me when I see one.... Read more

eat the meat and spit out the bones

Last updated on: April 29, 2013 at 7:35 am By David Hayward

Yes I know. Sometimes there’s way more bones than meat. Sometimes you might feel like you’re picking through a very bony fish for the odd little sliver of meat. You’re burning more calories getting the food than you’re gaining by eating it. It might be so bad that you feel like Ezekiel in the valley of dry bones. No meat anywhere. You actually wonder, “Why bother?!” If you’re listening to a teacher that is teaching meat and you get the... Read more

souls going against the flow

Last updated on: April 28, 2013 at 6:55 am By David Hayward

I want you to know that I am taking reasonable offers on all my original Sophia drawings. Get one now while you can. This is only going to last a day or so and I won’t be giving them away so inexpensively in the future. In fact, I’m taking reasonable offers on all my original artwork. Now’s your chance! Just email me! Some have asked, so I want to give a brief history of Sophia. I have been an artist... Read more

what John Piper sees when women teach

Last updated on: April 27, 2013 at 8:38 am By David Hayward

A few weeks ago I did a cartoon and commentary called Too Bad Women Teachers Have Bodies. I also wrote a post called John Piper and Women Who Teach in which I critique an interview of Piper. My cartoon and post make reference to his ideas about the offensive presence of women’s bodies in the teaching role. I like the way Rachel Held Evans puts it: “Piper is essentially arguing that so long as he does not have to acknowledge... Read more

Mark Driscoll and dripping faucet wives

Last updated on: April 26, 2013 at 12:58 pm By David Hayward

Most days I sit before a white sheet of paper with my pens waiting for a cartoon to emerge from wherever they emerge from. But sometimes you’re given something that just can’t be ignored. Like yesterday when I read what Mark Driscoll said about some wives being drippy faucets used for water torture: “And some women – you’re a nag. You’re disrespectful. You’re quarrelsome. Being married to you is like a life sentence, and the guy’s just scratching on his... Read more

young ladies can’t do that

Last updated on: April 25, 2013 at 7:49 am By David Hayward

Lisa and I decided early… well… it wasn’t a decision, it’s just the way we are… that we wanted to provide an environment where our children could grow up independent, courageous and wise. Themselves. We have three children. Our first two are boys. Men now. But I want to talk about our third. Our third child is a girl, now one of these young ladies in the cartoon. I clearly remember her early days when she began to verbally challenge... Read more

caution Christians

Last updated on: April 24, 2013 at 5:30 pm By David Hayward

A show interviewed me today. I’ll post it as soon as it is up. But I was asked an interesting question. He asked me how I stand being criticized every day and getting nasty emails and messages all the time. Well, for one thing, if I give it I have to take it. I’m in the critiquing business. I always check my work before I post it to make sure it is constructive criticism and not just mean. I wrote... Read more

the old bait and switch and spiritual abuse

Last updated on: April 24, 2013 at 6:56 am By David Hayward

In unhealthy relationships, the tactics used to keep you are not the same as those used to get you. It’s the old bait and switch! This happens not only in business: “What are all these hidden costs? You never told me about those!” It happens in romantic relationships: “I can’t believe it! He was so loving. But as soon as we got married he changed into this monster!” Sadly, it also happens with churches: “The church was awesome until I... Read more
