FALL

In the church world, September means Fall startup. It means the fun and relaxing summer days are reluctantly giving way to schedules, tasks, and implementation of the plan that was set during the summer. I love summer in Michigan, and this one has been one of the best in my short memory. In the Fall, most flowers and all leaves stop growing and in the case of leaves, start dropping. In nature, Fall ushers in the end of life that was birthed in the spring. In the church world, Fall ushers in the beginning of life. No wonder I like Fall.

The Lions finally scratched and clawed their way to a victory over their nemesis, the Green Bay Packers. Way to go Joe(y)!
