Tomorrow will be dying" -- Robert Herrick

Today, we went out to visit many of our at-home members, bringing cookies, poinsettias, and our "lovely" singing voices.  It is among my favorite days in the church year when we gather in living rooms, nursing homes, and hospital rooms to share Christ's love with our dear ones.

It's the hat that made me smile.  Every single time I saw on his head when he was little, and every single time I see it in a photo.  The memory of David's "Fish Hat" still fills me with delight.
