This is not the best picture of my son, but it is one of my favorites.  We were exploring the mudflats of Puget Sound during low tide.  He was so thrilled to find this tiny little clam shell.  It was a great day — one that he might not even remember, but I will never forget.

What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?
(Luke 15:4 ESV)
