Steve Monforto: A baseball parable in Philly

This is a wonderful video of a dad and his daughter at a ball game. In some ways, this is the parable of the prodigal son, in miniature, told in 24 seconds. The parable in Luke's gospel tells the story of a father's love for a child who has thrown away something valuable -- and what happens when the child comes home to the father's embrace.

Watch the father's face very carefully - it tells the whole story!

  4. I loved this -- and shared the smiles on FB -- one friend said this guy should run for President (especially considering that unlike Serena, Roger, Kanye etc. he can keep his cool on camera!) SO SWEET!

  5. I see a visual analogy to God's love for us in this.

  6. What a wonderful analogy. As a dad, I just hope I would be as gracious!
