My wife and little girl were looking through her baby book this morning and were reminded of an early theological lesson.
“Daddy”, she asked, “does God have a car?”
I did my best to explain that God is everywhere, and that He is always with us and doesn’t need a car.
She responded, “Well does he have a [...]

We’re having beautiful weather today and I got to enjoy my calling to be a father…I took my daughter fishing in our neighbor’s pond.  We didn’t catch anything, we did see one jump at the plastic worm I managed to tangle around some limbs.  But we spent some time together and saw a cocoon, a [...]
