There are times in life when things can happen to us while we are just minding our own business. You don't have to go looking for trouble anymore, because if you are at the "wrong place" at a certain time, it could find you.

The scripture “For all things work” from the book of Romans takes on another meaning for me in the fall of each year. Fall is my favorite time of the year because it reminds me of God’s intentions. It’s so interesting to me how the seasons change. We have the Winter, where everything in nature goes into hibernation. There is a beauty in the stillness the Winter creates. After Winter comes Spring, where refreshing rains bring magnificent blooms. Then comes Summer with the energizing sun and peaceful starry nights. The way God makes the seasons...

Fires are on the west coast, flooding on the east coast, hurricanes are in the south, avalanches are in the north, where can you run, where can you hide?

I never asked him why he went outside so much; I always assumed he must have really enjoyed it. Now, as an adult, I can understand the appeal of nurturing something and watching it grow. I have not...
