Climate Change

Nights have been unseasonably chilly this past week, with lows dipping into the low 30's. We're NOT complaining, after a very hot summer. The past few months have set records for high temps, and high temps in a row here in Michigan. I'm grateful for the cooler weather. Besides, the fireplace smells great! (Did you know that you can roast hot dogs and marshmallows indoors?)

Sometimes our spiritual lives are affected by the spiritual climate around us. People we associate with, things we witness in our lives and others, all these can change our attitudes and cause us to slip away from the fellowship we normally have with the Lord, and with other Christians. At Communion time, we stress the verse found in I Corinthians 11:28, But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.This examination needs to occur daily, to keep ourselves clean and walking with the Lord in perfect harmony.

Debbie and I walked in the woods last night and enjoyed some time of fresh air, and looking at animal tracks. We enjoy knowing what critters live and travel around our home. When the coyotes came too close, we thought it was time to head for home! Good choice! The corn is ripening, and will soon be harvested.

I hope you plan to be in the Lord's House this Sunday; I'm very sure that He would enjoy your presence.


Enjoy the sunset, "as we see it."
