“He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit: “Every branch that bears fruit he prunes” (John 15:2, NRSV).

I grew tired of Frank’s departures to the point that I threw up my hands in disgust and shouted, “Good riddance!” A very wise neighbor overheard my exclamation and asked me why I was so upset. I told Mr. Hannus that I never wanted to see that ungrateful dog again. To which he replied, “Son, you don’t stop loving someone just because they lack the sense to love you back.”

I love babies—particularly now as a grandfather. It’s good to be a grandpa. I can hand my grandson back over to my children when he gets fussy. All kidding aside, I am fascinated by babies. They are so amazingly complex. They are also exceptionally vulnerable.
