Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year, and this season truly reveals God's glory through the vibrant colors of the changing ,leaves, crisp air and the rhythm of the natural world.

As Divine artistry- scripture and tradition view the world as a "gallery " showcasing God's amazing work seen in majestic mountain peaks, shifting sunsets, powerful ocean waves and starry and moonlight nights. But God's ultimate crowning creation is humanity. And you and I are made in the image of God- a God who cares deeply for us. And despite our wounds, scars and brokenness, God is among us and travels the way with us through the roller-coaster of our daily lives- and as God promises each one of us - "I will never leave you or forsake." How reassuring is that.

May the Divine Spirit bless and keep you this day and always.
