I serve as a pastor at Calvary Lutheran Church. After the end of a long and intense day, which included a funeral for a man in his early fifties, I was finally able to leave my office. As I did, I saw one of the quilted hearts hanging off of a branch of one of the holly bushes that flank the entrance. It was a lovely little whimsical surprise which gave me a much-needed lift.
