All of us need to know that we’re involved in a portrait that is unfolding -- like a Polaroid picture, God provides the framework, and some of the big pieces. The rest becomes more clear as we stare at it. You may have had a rough start, but you still have choices. Perhaps the best is yet to come, if you paint carefully. Dads, kids, and everyone else: Life is a canvas, a portrait in the making; so please be very careful of the picture you are painting.
