One Sunday morning in late spring the day was so beautiful that instead of driving to worship I walked the one and a half miles to the church building. As I enjoyed the early morning, I suddenly heard a "whoosh, whoosh," above me and looked up to see three hot air balloons floating behind me. They were hardly 200 feet above me and seemed to be following me. In fact, they caught up with me and passed me with their occasional "whoosh, whoosh," the occupants looking down on me from their charmed perspective.
