Toon Lessons and other studies are the primary product of Toonspirit Ministries.
A Spiritual Lesson In Toon Language is an evergrowing curriculum that started in 2004 (in January of that year). It is based and derived from TV cartoons, kid shows, cartoon theatrical shorts (Looney Tunes, old MGM cartoons etc.), perhaps even TV oddities that aren't cartoons, and regular TV that aren't cartoons (even those that aren't cartoons will have cartoons paired with them). This became a formal ministry (Toonspirit Ministries) in 2010 (2/19 of that year). The lessons inside this curriculum is surprisingly in-depth; the average length to take one of these is 45min.--2hrs and if there is a lot of discussion such as a class it could be longer. Some students might find it useful to spend a few days on longer lessons if there is a time constraint. Please enjoy these lessons and be patient with them if needed to get the most out of them. God Bless You. Be Safe
I want to take a minute to acknowledge my wife Bonnie. She helps me to find scriptures when I can't find them or I'm stuck. She assists me in the production of some Toon Lessons (by posing for pictures etc.), by helping to organize our media library, finding media to purchase (and doing the running to get those series). She isn't afraid of sitting for 4-5 hrs. on an impromptu or freshly written lesson.
In the beginning of our marriage, Bonnie helped by working together with me in doing archival work on our VHS tapes (the one I started in 1997). She helped me to time-check clips when I didn't have a way to make clips with editing software. She backs me and my calling 110% and facilitates and approves of buying different series that we experiment on for lessons (we binge watch for fun and ideas). She has made my calling hers as well, so it's now our calling. She doesn't mind the proofreading process that makes some lessons much longer when we do them for the first time. She is the first to see the new lessons when they come out (she literally always wanted to be first to see them), or is in the first group that sees them. She is the best girl I've ever had the privilege to be with. I LOVE YOU SWEETHEART!!! WHAT A SUPER LADY!!!!!
