My Pal

This is my sister's dog, Zippy, or as I like to call him, 'The Zipster.' He sometimes forgets who his real owner is and adopts me, but I have grown to suspect that his affinity is closely tied to the likelihood that he will get human food when he comes to visit me. Oh well...

Mostly Gone

Sadly, most of the leaves find now have found themselves in the same position... except with the wind many of them are probably airborne today!

Morning Glory

Another Taken By Me

Did I mention that I really like Autumn?

Finally, One I Took!

I just love Autumn!

Nature's Cathederal

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious saying, "What shall we eat?" or "What shall we drink?" or "What shall we wear?" For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

- Jesus of Nazareth

Autumn Glory

Since the picture and the text seem so appropriate I thought I'd include today's Pray The Vote 2008 prayer assignment from the Presidential Prayer Team.

Going a little farther, He fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as You will."
--Matthew 26:39

Sovereign God, Your plans are perfect and Your ways are right and just. You put Your plans in place and we see the beauty of all You have designed. We trust in Your perfect will, even when it does not make sense to us.

O Lord, bring about Your perfect will in our nation through these elections, we pray. Do just as You intend and give us faith and understanding to relinquish our wills to Yours, just as Your Son Jesus did when He surrendered His life for our sin. We thank You for Your goodness, and for Your kindness to us and our nation. In Your name, Amen.

More Autumnal Beauty

Ahhhh

Beautiful

Still waiting for the leaves to change here, but at least there are pictures!

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

I LOVE FALL!

Happy Fall
