sabadoodle

Imagine that you've been asked to give a talk, sermon, or lesson in church. You spend hours, perhaps weeks, studying, praying, working hard, to come up with what words you feel will inspire the congregation. The night before, you forgo a night of parties, movies, entertainment in general, just to get a good nights sleep. You awake with a good healthy breakfast, and spend a good deal of time praying to calm your nerves before you stand up and preach what you've learned. After all that time and preparation, you give your heart felt speech. Unfortunately, while you've been pouring your heart out, you have a hard time with someone in the back. He isn't paying any attention to what your saying. He refuses to look at you and seems intent to writing or doodling in his notebook. An apology to everyone that has had that experience...

I am that man.

Please know that I am listening. I do care about the work you've put into your talks/lessons. I just have a hard time concentrating when people are talking (ask my wife). My mind wanders quickly. I focus much better on what is being said when I'm drawing something. In case you've ever wondered what I'm spending all my time on, here are a couple of pointless things that have come of this.







note: the drawing at the very top of this this website is in fact one of the few sabadoodles I'm proud of.
