Making peace with pumpkins

Rockville The pumpkin patch at Faith UMC in Rockville, Md.—currently displayed on the church's site—is featured in stirring column today from Petula Dvorak of The Washington Post.

I won't reveal the details or comment, except to say that God's hand surely had a part in bringing together the story's central figures. That, and it's not hard to believe the church's exterior could inspire a beautiful watercolor. (I'm only disappointed that the painting isn't shown, at least not online.)
