The first cartoon I ever produced

I work with children and I'm always looking for cool ways to present new things. Or sometimes cool ways to present things that aren't so new. Anyway, I kept running across these scripts for the characters Flatman and Bobbin. I decided to make a cartoon out of it instead of trying to put together a skit. I drew the characters, recorded all the voices and here's my version of Flatman and Bobbin vs The Anti Easter Man. This idea has inspired me to create my own duo "Captain Hammer and Biscuit." More to come soon!

Good is the enemy of great

I heard this quote the other day and it has been in my spirit everyday since then. "Good is the enemy of great."
Understanding the difference between good and bad is EASY. A child knows that killing and stealing is BAD. Sharing and loving are good. Aside from someone who may have some medical issues, those types of choices are easy. What about when the lines are a bit more "blurred?" What if you are working and things are going relatively well... but in your heart there's this pull? Maybe it's God trying to tell you that you might be doing good, but just around the corner greatness is waiting for you.
It's not always so easy to recognize the difference between good, better and best. Unless it's someone else life right!? We always know what's best for everyone else in our lives don't we;0) A songwriter by the name of Rob Biagi wrote these lyrics... "I bring me to you (God) * like you asked me to * and I'm quiet." I believe that it is in these quiet moments we can hear the voice of God. After all, it's pretty hard to listen and talk all at the same time. Perhaps then, your good will be defeated by your greatness.
until next time,
