Move on to the jokes if you&#8217;re not interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">I volunteered to do caricatures for our church&#8217;s Children&#8217;s Summer Program for three days. I have to admit that I was a bit nervous because it&#8217;s been a few years since I did live drawing and (since then) my eyesight has waned and my drawing hands have gotten stiff. But the more faces I drew, the better I got. The rust in my fingers chipped away. The ratio and proportion calibration in my brain started to tick again. I was back! One day I know the magic will be gone but at least it isn&#8217;t today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Carmen-Caricature.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Carmen-Caricature.jpg 360w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Carmen-Caricature-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, the organizations hiring me would dote on my comfort, provide snacks and even assign an assistant for crowd control. But this church didn&#8217;t know who I was or what to do with me. They saw my name listed under the Volunteer List as &#8220;caricaturist.&#8221; They pointed where I was to go, showed me the table I could use and that was it. As soon as I set my paraphernalia and chairs, I reeled in some people to practice with. And then the laughter came; and then the crowd started to form. Last night, past 9 pm, I was the lone volunteer still working under the dim light with a bunch of kids who were giving me instructions how to draw the baseball bat and where to place their cat. They were laughing and giggling with their parents and we had a blast. As I packed up and dragged myself to my car, I realized how very tired I was from working 3 hours straight. I felt like I had just come from a war zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a Christian song by Twila Paris that I love called &#8220;<strong>The Warrior is a Child<\/strong>.&#8221; It&#8217;s about a Christian who goes through a spiritual battle and conquers her enemies. It helps me put things into proper perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Lately I&#8217;ve been winning battles left and right<br>But even winners can get wounded in the fight<br>People say that I&#8217;m amazing<br>I&#8217;m strong beyond my years<br>But they don&#8217;t see inside of me<br>I&#8217;m hiding all the tears<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CHORUS<br><em>They don&#8217;t know that I come running home when I fall down<br>They don&#8217;t know who picks me up when no one is around<br>I drop my sword and cry for just a while<br>(Look up for His smile)<br>&#8216;Cuz deep inside this armor<br>The warrior is a child<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Unafraid because His armor is the best<br>But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest<br>People say that I&#8217;m amazing<br>I never face retreat, oh no<br>But they don&#8217;t see the enemies<br>That lay me at His feet<br>They don&#8217;t know<\/em> \u2026 (repeat chorus twice and end)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/kluRNKKST00\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"191\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/videoWarriorChild.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/videoWarriorChild.jpg 360w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/videoWarriorChild-300x159.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To be honest, I don&#8217;t really know how I do what I do. &#8220;People say that I&#8217;m amazing&#8221; but they don&#8217;t realize I&#8217;m just winging it.
