Blogaroni #2—Introducing "Catch of the Day"

I love words.

But some days a picture is the best way to converse—one flash says, “Take a look at. . .” or “Can you believe. . .” or “We’re still shaking our heads over. . .” And you might say in response, “That’s crazy . . . ” or “What in the world is that?” or “Sure glad they’re not my kids!”

Looking through a window on my world can enlarge yours.


So I’ve decided to start a “catch of the day” photo. I’ve asked the kids to be on the lookout for things that we can share with you—and I’ve promised a  reward for pictures I choose to publish. There won’t be one every day and they won’t necessarily feature award-winning photography—but they will give you a vista point, a quick pull-out on the road of life from which you can gaze across the scene and into a life outside your own.

Ultimately, the goal of the “catch of the day” is the same as my regular  posts—to inspire you to take another look at the goodness of God in your own life, to think big thoughts about Him from the middle of ordinary living. The trivial things that happen to us every day are somehow essential ingredients in the great plan of God. Through small things, He is working wonders.

So here’s the first picture. My three boys and their good friend, Jeb, built an island in the middle of a bog in the woods—and then jumped in. Here’s what we saw when they came chortling home! Our septic tank may fill with mud when the clothes are done—but the memories won’t wash off.

Isn’t our Father good?
