In this episode I sit in a Starbucks, sipping a latte, pondering the image of God as seen in a sticky handprint left by a toddler on the window. It's a unique thing of beauty.  There’s not another handprint in the world exactly like it.  The image represents so much potential.  It displays innocence, a strong will, creativity, intelligence, in short, the image of God--and yet it was produced by a human, and therefore very fragile, for it will soon disappear with a spray and a wipe.
