That’s what man said, but God said there’s more to do. My mom lived. Mom and Dad have raised three children, who have married wonderful spouses, and Mom and Dad have a total of nine grandchildren. All nine grandchildren are working in the church to help spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. "I am nothing. I am nothing but a tool for my Lord who is everything. I give myself to Him, for His glory. * I was told by my boss, at the time, that I couldn’t have the day off to go take the postal test. I begged him to let me go. He said “ I couldn’t even pass that test. There’s no way that you’re smart enough to pass it.” (Man said no, God said yes.) I now work on projects for the U.S. Postal Service with some of their top executives. * I was told that I was too little to become a police officer. (Man said no, God said yes.) I became an artist and photographer for the FBI. * I was told that becoming a professional cartoonist was impossible. (Man said no, God said yes.) My cartoons have been seen by millions. "I had tried to get a job with Disney on and off for 10 years. I couldn’t even get through the front door. I didn’t really want to move to California or Florida. I made a deal with the Christian Broadcasting Network to supply them with a cartoon a week. I thought 'this is cool.' I was kind of drawing for Jesus. I prayed that the Lord would use me and my talent. Two hours after I said that prayer, I received a call. One of my friends had taken my cartoons to the CEO of Disney. I didn’t even know that he was going to do that. The CEO liked the cartoons, and he requested that one of his lawyers call me and offer me a contract. They called and said that I could write and draw my own cartoons. I could email the cartoons to them so that I could work from my home in Ohio. They said “You know this contract is coming from the top?” I said “It’s even higher than you think.” What others are saying“Just an incredibly “off the cuff” funny man with a heart for people and God. Artistically talented, insightfully effective, and humorously winsome. As gas is to an air balloon and yeast is to dough, Earl raises people to bigger and better levels.” Credit HighlightsAs a freelance cartoonist, Earl’s clients include:
