Both sons are devout Viking fans ( two of 6 in Minnesota )..
*kidding* there are only 5.

4. Jeff is a youthful (lol) 48,
Packer fan... and a snappy dresser as you can see.
Add *ahem* 25 lbs. of 'soft-muscle matter', and Jeff has not changed from
this picture.
5. Mary...of 20 years (too mature
to be pictured), is a 4th grade teacher in a near by
suburb . She is amazing, and The Love of My Life!
6. Dog Pepper.. is our Schnoodle (poodle/schnauzer
mix).
7. Dog Baylie.. Husky/Springer Spaniel mix.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Despite the fact that none of them are perfect, .. all
of my family
loves the Lord, and I could not be more proud of them.
I have been drawing
cartoons for all my life. I remember when I was little, I would play
this
drawing game with my dad. We would take turns drawing lines on the same piece
of paper until our drawing
was complete. Now, I am like that cute little kid who draws
pictures for their mommy or daddy, and says.. "Lookie
Mommy, I drew you this pretty picture." Of course I am 48 years old (not
so cute), and so when I try to show my
wife my cartoons, she says something like.. "Oh, I that's nice dear!"
So as you can imagine, she
is very happy that some of you take time to look at my cartoons.. so that she
does not have to.
I still love to draw cartoons, and I pray that God can uses my cartoons to give others a smile, or laugh, and maybe now and then.. make a point.
MY DAD.. THE MAN I LOVE AND RESPECT!!
 |
Walter Larson, my dad, born May 16, 1923 is an amazing man!! My dad is now 78 years old, and suffers from ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). ALS has taken his ability to speak, to eat (except through a feeding tube), he has lost 40-50 lbs. this last year, and ALS is killing him. BUT, BUT.. He is the man I respect so much. His mom died when he was 6, his dad placed him and his brothers and sisters in a children's home, and never took responsibility for them. My dad served in WWII in the Navy. After the war, he attempted suicide because of his unhappiness, the Lord protected him, and he became saved. He then met my mom, and had a true family, and experienced happiness and family for the first time. He is a wonderful man, and to me is a model of what God tells us to be as Christians. He is not an upfront kind of guy, but his Christianity is obvious by the way he lives his life. I believe if my dad was in the parable of the talents. They would have told him to go find a talent before he could start. What I mean to say is .. My dad, who never had modeled before him how to be a husband, or father, or friend.. succeeded at all these facets of life. I hope someday this can be said of me, and I have had each of these modeled before me by my dad. Someday soon..
I believe the Lord will say to my dad.. "Well done, my good and faithful
servant. You clothed me when I was naked, you fed me when I was hungry!"...
because my dad did so much with the cards he was dealt. At Christmas this year, we decided as a family to each share our favorite Christmas memories. We each shared special Christmas memories, of toys, or family get togethers.. Well the following letter is what my dad shared.. Click here to see my dad's Christmas memory. Thank you for taking time to read this tribute to my dad. When you think of us, please pray for my mom & dad, and for God's blessing and peace during this difficult time. |
Thanks for visiting
my cartoon website.May God
bless each of his children greatly beyond what we can
imagine as we serve Him.
