I guess as a father, there are always moments that you look forward to; milestones in the life of your child. Yesterday I saw the reaching of what I consider to be a major milestone in the life of my son, Keller. He is 11 1/2 months old. He’ll be one year on April 19. It’s important to know his age, because he accomplished a feat yesterday that many teenagers in my youth group can’t even do: He caught a ball. That’s right. I threw a ball to him and he caught it. I was so excited that I yelled and scared him. When Lindsey got home, she inquired as to why I was so excited. I told her Keller caught the ball. She said, “Well, it was probably just an accident.” This hurt me deeply. How could you doubt the athletic prowess of my only begotten son, woman? So Keller and I set about to prove her wrong. I threw him 5. He dropped them all. But he caught number 6. And number 8. That’s right. 11 months old and he caught the ball 3 times.
