““Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I had to get out early and take in another September morning as October was just ahead. I stood at the pasture’s edge and was once again, for the millionth time, overwhelmed by the Creator and His creation. No two days are ever exactly the same. Never have they been, and never will they be. As I walked away later, I thought of that Neil Diamond song, “September Morn”. I always liked that song. He sang “September Morn, we danced until the night became a brand new day”. Now we didn’t dance that long, so I was able to be up at first light as September was coming to a close!READ MORE

And as soon as this particular morning was further along, I did make a run that included searching for more pumpkins! READ MORE

“Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other. Faithfulness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭85‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I ventured out in the darkness a couple of days ago. It was really nice, about 60 degrees and very calm. I wandered over to a place where at times I see a skunk or two and realized it would’ve been wise to have included a flashlight. I chose to wait for better light before proceeding, that’s when this happened. Walking in the light is a very good thing. I was reminded at this point of the first 6 verses of Psalm 19!READ MORE
