Today I received a very special gift from Yellow Springs' head (and other) cartoonist, Walter Rhodes: his own vintage calligraphy pen and pewter rest from Italy.
Walter is an accomplished retired actor, an unforgettable personality, and an elder at the church where I currently work. I tried my best to be shy in his presence, but it was impossible to stay quiet around such a ham. We have spent many a long hour in the church office swapping ideas and stories and generally being kids.

I have met many people who call themselves Christians in my life. Many of them horribly misunderstand the title, and most of them would bore God to tears. Walter is not one of those.
Read Walter's local cartoon series, Bench to Nowhere, here.
