The oval office

President John F. Kennedy claps as his four-year-old daughter Caroline and son John F. Kennedy Jr. dance in the Oval Office of the White House in October 1962.

I heard about this picture from a New Life Church sermon. What happened in October 1962? JFK informed the world that the Soviet Union was building secret missile bases in Cuba, a mere 90 miles off the shores of Florida. Discussions and serious stuffs..

The oval office, the office of ultimate power, decisions made that can change the world. Top leaders have to make special appointments to meet in the office, commoners find it a lifetime experience to step into the office. The history, the moments. The legend.

and see the two little children dancing away while the most influential & powerful man in the world is clapping away.. =)

I wonder.. God of creation, the ruler & owner of the heavens & earth. Even when the nations are all before Him, they are nothing compared to Him, regarded as worthless & less than nothing to Him (Isa 40:17). God who structures every multiplication of amoebas and the formation of proteins & DNAs, forms billions of human features uniquely and names every planet & stars that are formed by the millions everyday. Architect of the rise & fall of civilization, directs every artistic vision and philosophic wisdom.

Yet He chose us.

"Come dance in my oval office", you might hear Him say from a distance. Enter my joy, my holy of holies.

Flawed and ignorant as I am, yet it's like instinct. As He claps, you know it is the rhythm, more than building taller sand castles, sweets and lollies, chasing after pretty butterflies, dreaming for the next big thing.

I know my father. Run to Him.
