MISCONCEPTIONS
Someone around you is affected by infertility. You may not realize it because those who are are hesitant to bring it up. As a result, they suffer not only from infertility but from the loneliness that accompanies it. This sketch is designed to open the topic, to encourage those in the cycles of depression and hope, and to help people know how to approach the topic with sensitivity.

SHELTERED BY LOVE
This sketch, which seems to be about death, is really about the meaning of life. In Helen's story and in the underlying picture of a tree that keeps its dead leaves all winter, there is a message about unconditional and sacrificial love - both that of humans for each other and of God for us.
