Frogs are interesting. They are slimy and they are wriggly and they are very attractive to intrigued three year olds. They hop and they skip and they bound from damp place to damp place. They are in short fascinating. To hold a frog is like holding God's world. God's world is slippery and difficult to get hold of. Just when you think you have it held really well it wriggles away from you. It is, like a frog, endlessly puzzling and frustratingly inexplicable.However sometimes, for just one moment, we are the three year old with the frog in our hands. At that point we realise that we don't need to understand the world. We just need to hold it in our hands and marvel at its wonderfulness.
