Ever since the creation of the world [God’s] eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are, have been understood and seen through the things he has made. So [everyone is] without excuse… Romans 1:20

No one has to be argued into believing there is a God and even the fact that He is a good God, too. The evidence is common to everyone. Those who claim to not believe have merely talked themselves out of what they used to know.  Nothing new has to be added to what everyone already knows; it’s only necessary to pull back the covers and let it out.

It’s the grand secret. It’s where all witnessing to the truth begins. You don’t have to put anything in anyone’s mind; just uncover what’s already there. The truth about God is self-evident.

I came across the poem I wrote in 2008, and thought since this is a sort of new beginning for the Catch, having been rescued by you, it would be a good place to restart.

The Grand “Aha!”
by John Fischer

It can happen in a glance, from the corner of an eye.
Or flash across the canopy of a star-studded sky.
It can hide inside the childlike caverns of the mind
Over a broken date with the Maker of time.

You can miss it in the shadows, and then find it again
In the soft warm fold of a baby’s new skin.
It can happen in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
Or in the final laps a runner’s last try.

It’s the kiss in the corner of a coy mother’s mouth.
It’s the question that makes a flock of geese fly south.
It’s the moment the heavens pull back time
To reveal a peek at the grand design.

It’s a shaft of light from a golden sky
That strips the Creator of His alibi.
It’s when the divine comes down to earth,
And gives us an inkling of what we are worth.

It’s the way we look in a bride’s new dress.
It’s the way we know what we can’t confess.
It’s in the heart of the smallest child,
And makes us want to run free and wild.

It is hidden in the veins of the smallest leaf,
Yet able to cross the gulf of unbelief.
Out of the shadows of a dream you once saw—
Glimpsed in a moment: It’s the Grand “Aha!”
