I walk into church. The azaleas are almost dead, that sad dried up look they get right before I sigh and toss them. Other plants are in disarray. And there at the sacristy door is Fr. Miguel.
"HOW could you have let it get this way?" he accuses me.
I look around for an excuse but all I can come up with I say to myself, not out loud: "I can't do this job by myself."
I hurry around while he watches, watering and rearranging.
I have a feeling this wasn't about plants.
