September, giving way to October has been my favorite time of year for as long as I can remember. It’s as if the creator of the universe knew this about me when He planned my days here on earth. My very birth taking place right in the midst of Fall. Even as I type, I have the windows open as the cool fall breeze finds
I love the sky. Almost to a fault. Those who know me well, will poke fun at my exclamations of “Look at the sky!” But for whatever reason, the sky is my thing.

We hit the doors to the youth room, and the energy explodes onto us and we love it!

Open my eyes LORD to see you clearly. This has been my prayer chant for quite some time now. Every morning these words lay pressed against my heart and make their way off my tongue.

Last week at this time, I was packed into a jeep with my husband and our good friends, along with a car load filled-to-the-brim with anything and everything we might possibly need on our camping trip in the U.P.
