True?

 

 “The first service that one owes to others in the fellowship consists in listening to them. Just as love to God begins with listening to His Word, so the beginning of love for the brethren is learning to listen to them. It is God's love for us that He not only gives us His Word but also lends us His ear. So it is His work ..

 

On Listening: Dietrich Bonhoeffer

    Ponte 1

    Heard of Locks of Love?  This seems to be where it began.  A lock is secured to the chain link fence, the key is thrown in the river, and your relationship will never be broken.

    Trouble was, the weight of the locks was breaking down the bridge, the Bridge of Art, Paris, over the Seine with the Louvre on the opposite side. 

    So, the locks had to come off and those red & white plywood panels were put up.  Locks are only on the edges, like in the picture.  The Locks of Love idea has spread everywhere in Europe.
