Minute with Marlin EP #15 – Uh-Oh Daddy, Bee

Marlin and his daughter Adelaide were sitting on a bench watching the birds when a tiny gnat started buzzing around.

Adelaide, who has Down syndrome, suddenly stopped talking and with every ounce of her being looked at her dad with huge eyes and said, “Oh, daddy, bee!”

Marlin lives for those sweet, simple moments.

Life is full of big questions and struggles… feeling unworthy, comparing ourselves to others, wondering if we measure up, carrying guilt and shame.

But real joy often comes in the small, authentic moments: sitting with a friend, sharing struggles, and knowing we are loved anyway.

Marlin hopes that one day, authenticity and joy will be remembered about him.

These short, heartfelt Minutes with Marlin deliver quick moments of wisdom, faith, humility, and encouragement… perfect for busy homestead days when we need a gentle reminder of what really matters.
