Fabulous Fall

Today is the perfect day. You can wear jeans or shorts and still be the perfect temperature. There is not a cloud in the sky, and the sun seems to accentuate the colors of the leaves. In my small group ministry class we were told to get in groups of four and go outside with a list of questions. We sat around talking about what God reveals to us through his creation. He is beautiful. He is creative. He made something that works perfectly together. He thinks long-term. My professor said that when we make church boring, we are committing heresy. God is anything but boring - look outside!
This post has no point. I just want to share my overwhelming joy about the day. Soccer practice was cancelled so I decided to take full advantage of the weather. I would be sitting on my porch, but a massive wasp has scared me away.
The things that have overwhelmed me all week have been put into perspective by the majesty of this day. If I don't read all the articles for class tonight, it will be okay. I will never have this day back, and one cold, dreary day in February I will think back to this day and be thankful that I didn't worry about my homework.
You make beautiful things, you make beautiful things out of the dust. 
Amen and Amen.
