Saw some old friends last weekend. People I don’t really know, but whose hearts have touched my heart.

We shared songs and hugs and smiles and then on Sunday morning then call came in that one of us was gone.

All weekend I had tried to recall the name of the woman I had gone to school with and one of us had gone to seminary – Mercy Garland. A mercy garland is what we all could use a little of right now. 

May we all be wrapped and held.
