Across the Street from Heaven

Bob, just to add another touch of celestial glory to your story, I present these images of the very sights you and I would have beheld 1) on our way into St. James Church on a Sunday morning, our minds and hearts lifted up to God, and 2) the florist shop directly across the street from the church, whose magnolia blossoms beckoned us toward the bakery a few doors down, where we would celebrate our faith with largesse that never made it into the collection basket. In the background is the Delaware Station firehouse.
