Fall Is In the Air
Where I live we're supposed to have 4 seasons, but it seems like Fall and Spring are very short.
The one constant factor? Change.
Even a little Fall is better than no Fall at all!
And I love the Change!
I grew up in south Texas where the gulf breeze blew almost everyday. I remember in September, October or November we would get what my dad would call, "A Blue Norther."
Most times we would just say "Norther" for short.
The clouds would get darker. The wind would blow out of the north instead of the south and east. Sometimes it would rain. Sometimes not. The air would get a certain feel and smell. You knew it was a Norther!
The Norther created Change. Change in the "normal" temperature and status of my little home town.
I live in Oklahoma now "where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain." Over this past weekend we had a cold front move through. Maybe two of them. It rained a little and cooled things down.
But the front that came through yesterday was dry. No rain.
And today was amazing!
We even had an outdoor Lawnchairs and CR in the front lawn of our church. We grilled hamburgers and hot dogs. Me and the worship team led them 8 great songs.
We "cranked" it up and played loud. It was fun and the people enjoyed it.
We did the normal Celebrate Recovery things like reading the 8 Principles and the Chip Ceremony. We even had a fantastic testimony from a guy that was into drugs and a life in prison but God set him free. It was awesome.
Then we served watermelon! Everyone had a good time.
Oh, it was amazing and the weather was fabulous. The front that came through kept the temperature nice all day with a nice soft breeze. Not the brutal winds that we get in winter.
So, I'm describing Change. Two weeks ago we had temps in the 100's. Today was in the high 70's. Fantastic weather.
Fall is in the air. That's for sure.
Change has come and it's been good to break from the high temps and the statewide burn ban.
But do you know what? It will change again.
In 3 months it will be Christmas. It will be cold. There may be snow and ice.
Change is coming!
That is the one constant of life. Change.
As you realize in your own life that Fall is in the Air, may you embrace the Change that is coming and the Change that is taking place.
You're only young once. In fact, you are never the same age more than one second of your life. That is astounding. You are always growing older. Every second.
Change is coming. As we vote for the future President of the United States will we get 4 more years of Obama or a fresh 4 years of Romney?
Either way ... Change is coming.
Fall is in the Air. Change is coming.
Is your income and lifestyle better than it was 4 years ago? I don't know about you but I'm paying about $30.00 more per week per vehicle on fuel. That stinks.
That takes money away from other areas. Change has come.
I want you to consider working with me in Empower Network.
I believe it is one of the best things I have done in my own life to prepare for the change that is coming.
