Welcome, Readers!

  Comics & Word is a new publication we launched in 2023. It has taken months to develop this special project. C&W is a Christian-based newspaper with a twist -- much of its content is comic strips and panels.  But that doesn't mean we don't take what we do seriously.

​

  C&W is about getting back to the simple things in life and finding more time to get back to the things that really matter, rather than just scrolling through life on our phones.

It is about finding purpose.

​

  We will feature stories on simplifying your life, decluttering your life, relearning what our ancestors did before technology, starting your own business, getting outdoors and being educated about nature, finding hobbies to fit you, rediscovering the joy of living, spending more time with God and finding hope in living life as the Bible tells us.

​

  Some article you see posted will be more locally based, but even then the principles and techniques described can be used by anyone.

​

​​  Articles will be by several authors, including some well-known ones. Gloria Gaither is a renowned Gospel music songwriter, author, speaker, editor, and academic. Together with her husband Bill, she wrote "Because He Lives" and many other Gospel songs. Also joining us will be John Eldredge, Christian author, outdoorsman, counselor and lecturer. He is known for doing men's conferences and authoring books such as "Wild At Heart," "Epic," Fathered By God," "Get Your Life Back" and "Resilient."

​

  Also joining us is Alison Neihardt, a local child therapist who has been in practice since 2008. She has her practice Helping Kids UpNorth Counseling Services in Kalkaska. She works with children, teens, and their parents to deal with a wide variety of issues. She has been writing since 2019. Her books can be found on Amazon.com and in local bookstores. 

  Other writers will also be sending in material from time to time.

​

  Right now, our comics are mostly featured in our print editions. We do feature some here when we can. Hopefully, we can get more comics posted here more regularly as well in the near future.

  Keep in mind, we are a ministry, not a for-profit newspaper. Any donation we would be willing to give would help us greatly in keeping this going. You can donate to our GoFundMe page at  https://gofund.me/4d436f84 .  Or contact us directly with other ways to help fund our project at  betweenthepinesmin@gmail.com .

  Thank you for checking our website out. May the Lord bless your day. We look forward to your return!
