This is exactly what grace looks like. I could make a whole sermon out of this clip. How many times have we been that little girl? And how many times has God wrapped his arms around us anyway?
In a post-game interview the Dad said this about his little girl –
"We play catch at home a lot. She was only doing what came naturally. I think she was startled by the reaction of the fans around us — there was a collective gasp," said Monforto. "She was also startled by the look on my face. I just wanted to let her know it was OK — that she didn't do anything wrong."
A picture of God. And us. And what God wants to do if we will just allow it.
Now, if only all real Dads were always this way. . .

This picture was nominated on ESPN as the picture of the day and lost to a picture of Serena Williams cussing out a line judge. What's up with that?
As my gramma used to say, "There's a whole lot of ugly in the world. Don't add to it."
