November. I think when God made November he was only fooling. Keats got it right when he wrote:
No warmth, no cheerfulness,
no healthful ease;
No comfortable feel in any member.
No shade, no shine,
no butterflies, no bees;
No fruit, no flowers,
November.
(Keats)
no healthful ease;No comfortable feel in any member.
No shade, no shine,
no butterflies, no bees;
No fruit, no flowers,
November.

Cold. Cloudy. Mostly miserable. Fall is gone and Christmas is still far away. If it wasn't for Thanksgiving, my son's birthday, my daughter's birthday, the post-Thanksgiving shopping bonanza, the start of college basketball, the exciting college football games that determine bowl appearances, the hockey season in full swing, no more grass to cut, the wonderfull smell of a fire in the fireplace, not to mention the hunting season ... Wait a minute. Maybe November ain't so bad after all. Maybe God knew what He was doing when He put it on the calendar.
Way to totally go, God!! And can You forget the "only fooling" part?
... just thinkling

Pastor Steve,
It is great to hear/read your insights into what God is doing! We miss you all, but God is good and we are enjoying the Fall here in Oregon. We live by a river and the fog over the river in the morning often reminds me of the closeness of God, though we often don't see it in a visible way. Keep on Keep'n on, God is Glorified by your ministry!

That poem is by William Cullen Bryant, silly!
