Fall Weather


Well, October is upon us and so is fall....Recently, in the last few days, the weather has been really nice and warm and sunny. Not anymore. It feels more like winter is blowing in more than fall. The great thing about fall is the vibrant colors of the leaves and the way the cool air kind of tickles your lungs. And let's not forget about the football weather. Oh baby!!! Penn State vs. Michigan...what can get better than that. Let's hope our luck has gotten better than our performance at Notre Dame and Ohio State. Lately, I have struggled with the tragic deaths of people that were very close to me. I have struggled to understand why things happen, and why they happen to certain people. I wonder why God makes things this way. I have started to see though that the people that have passed on in this life are the lucky ones because they have become a foot soldier in God's army. What can be a better calling than that?! I still grieve for those that are gone and I grieve for the people that have not passed on but have left my life. All of these people hold a place of honor in my house and at my table. They all touched my life in some special way. For those, that have left my life I am so sorry to see you go...and I miss you soo much...but I understand you have a path to follow and a journey separate from mine. I wish we could be together but in life we don't pick the challenges, we only face them.
