This tall summer phlox, currently blooming in my garden, is a variety called "David". It has a fantastic scent, and is a delight to be near. It makes me think of King David, who was spoken of a "a man after God's own heart". How pleasant to be in the company of a heart of purity, like a beautiful scent. My reading this morning was a lovely aroma:

"But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure;
then peaceloving, considerate, submissive,
full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
Peacemakers who sow in peace
raise a harvest of righteousness." James 3
