Fall is officially here! I am honestly waiting for it to freeze to kill all of the no-seeums that have materialized from out of the woodwork. You can’t even enjoy these nice days we’ve had without getting eaten alive. Things are definitely looking like fall-in our gardens, our lawns and in the fields! Watch out for the farmers who are deep in harvest. They have a lot on their minds!

Do you know if you are going to go to the polls to vote on Nov. 3 or use a mail-in ballot? If voting by mail, be sure to give your ballot plenty of time to get there and to be counted. The sooner the better!

Thought for the week: Feeling a smug satisfaction when people get their just deserts is so human. People must live with the consequences of their actions. God, being merciful, calls us to turn, repent and to live. An accounting will take place. God is not content allowing us to suffer what we caused, but calls us to live in righteousness and compassion and so to experience life.
Have a good week!
