This blog is mostly about images. A photo captures a moment in time and lets us slow down long enough to see the rich texture of the life all around us. It's mostly for my own amusement, but if you stumbled here somehow, please enjoy.

Polydactyly

The giant of Gath had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, 24 in all (II Sam. 21:20).  Our Nelson had something similar with his feet at birth, a condition known as polydactyly.  Though corrected as a toddler, the great toe on the right foot had a mind of its own.  He goes in for surgery today--please pray for him.

He's more of a David than a Goliath, truth be told.

    After four years, is there an updated photograph of his foot?
