Letter from the Minister
Cleaning the river, I see a sack full of someone's lunch.
"Well," I thought, "at least they tied it up nicely before they threw it in the river."
Of course, they could have used the trash can in the nearby park playground.

Being mad together, we have fun at this.
Our fellowship heals us.
-Rev. Michael Relland
