It’s Fall time! It seems like the majority of us love it. And really what’s not to like! It’s a time for lots of good food, reading, campfires, leaf piles, and delicious smells. Daniel 2:21 says…

Well, let's talk about some of those things, some of those wonderful themes, 'cause I think one of the things I have loved, um, from being a kid who spent just all of my time outside to now being a mom who spends so much of my time outside, is just how the Lord really has ministered to me through the natural world, uh, that, you know, being inside of a house is lovely, and there are wonderful things with our devices and wonderful things that we can even learn from, uh, you know, resources online and on a tablet that can be really great.
Like, my kids learn a lot of piano, for example, from their, uh, their iPad, and I'm so thankful for it.
But just how there's something about being in nature and just up- experiencing God's created world that truly just gives us such eyes to understand.
So many theologians throughout church history have talked about how there are two books.
There is the book of Scripture, and then there's the book of nature, and it's in...
And I think seasons really speak to us so much as well, when we really study the seasons.
And there are some areas, you know, that don't have seasons, if you live in parts of California or, you know, I know there are folks that listen to this podcast from all over the world, in Singapore, in, uh, Australia, in, uh, Africa.
But for those of us who do have them, I think there's something really sweet about studying them.
And even if you look in Daniel, um, Daniel the second chapter, um, it's when Nebuchadnezzar calls Daniel in to interpret his dream, and he's, can't understand things.
He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding." And I think it is such a blessing that we are able to marvel at this time and look at the Lord who holds the planets in motion, who causes the Earth to orbit the sun and gives us these distinctions of spring, summer, fall, and winter that we cannot manipulate.
No matter how much I want it to be, uh, you know, really fall at, on September 1st.
