Spring in St. Louis

Lovely phlox drapes a hillside on the campus

 of Concordia Seminary in St Louis, Missouri.

                      Delicate blossoms punctuate corners of brown mulch.

It is apparent that there has been a culture

 of plant care and grooming on campus.

Daffodils herald spring as they wave in the breeze.

Fragile pink dogwood blossoms

dance on waving gray branches.

Ruffled petals of tree peonies bend low

 to the ground with the heavy blooms.

Clumps of slender green 

are dotted with white highlights.

Wild hyacinths.

Solomon's seal has such a 

pretty variegated leaf.

We are finishing up a decade of visits 

to this Seminary campus for Call Services

 for pastors and vicarage assignments. 

I doubt that I will be back here again.

Pat Maier and myself were blessed to visit with two 

of our Visual Faith Ministry Family Life coaches while here.  

Meghan Flanick and Rachel Hinz blessed us with a visit

 by graciously meeting us on campus.

St. Louis you have been fun to visit 

It was great to catch up with them 

and hear what God is doing in their lives.

May the Lord bless you in your faithful journeys!
