This Gecko was printed on a 3D printer and has 22 moving joints that allow it to hang over my monitor to watch what I’m doing. In this case, the gecko is looking at computer code that checks some sort of connectivity. In the background a calendar displays the current month.

It makes me think about how the recent holiday season was a time of connecting for many people. Now it looks like January is a also a great time to connect.

It reminded me of the following verse reminding us to stay connected with Jesus.

They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.
Colossians 2:19

Let’s strive to refresh our connection with Jesus through reading, prayer, and practicing.
