God Took Care of Us!

A NOSHA member passed along this cartoon from a former New Orleans resident, Ralph Scheeler, who was a kindred spirit as you can see from the punchline :

“We lost the house, the barn, the livestock and the farm equipment. Our two kids are still in the I.C.U. My wife has permanent brain damage and I have internal organ damage.

But! God took care of us! We’re still alive!”

Ralph Scheeler and his wife, Annette, moved from New Orleans to Oregon in 2005 after the lost their home in Hurricane Katrina. He has continued his artistic work in Beaverton with his contributions to the Beaverton Resource Guide. His characters have become part of the community. You can read more here.

We’re delighted that he thought of us and wanted to share some of his recent work with his friends in New Orleans. We’re certain that will hear this same tired line over and over again as we experience future storms here in the South. Anytime the inspiration strikes, we’ll look forward to his secular take on life.
