Last of the tomatoes
(Click on photo for larger version)
I’ve heard it said that to possess knowledge is to know that a tomato is a fruit. Possessing wisdom is to know not to put it in a fruit salad.

Sometimes change means being willing to let all our accomplishments of the past season fall to the ground and die.
Sometimes change means letting God be God even when we don’t understand what he is doing.
Sometimes change means remembering his faithfulness year after year.
Sometimes change means embracing winter.
Sometimes a rest is as good as a change.

I will lift up my eyes
Photo: Winter begins its descent
I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.
(Psalm 121:1,2)

Sometimes goodbye`s such a hard thing to say
There`s a Muppets song that always makes me cry.
Saying goodbye, going away
Seems like goodbye’s such a hard thing to say
Touching a hand, wondering why
It’s time for saying goodbye
Saying goodbye, why is it sad?
Makes us remember the good times we’ve had
Much more to say, foolish to try
It’s time for saying goodbye
Don`t want to leave, but we both know
Sometimes it’s better to go
Somehow I know we’ll meet again
Not sure quite where, and I don`t know just when
You’re in my heart, so until then
Wanna smile, wanna cry
Saying goodbye
La la la la la la la la
It’s time for saying goodbye
I feel like singing it to the amazingly beautiful warm autumn we have had.
And crying.

Among the large number who had become believers there was complete agreement of heart and soul. Not one of them claimed any of his possessions as his own but everything was common property. The apostles continued to give their witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus with great force, and a wonderful spirit of generosity pervaded the whole fellowship. Indeed, there was not a single person in need among them. (Acts 4)

But I Fear No Evil
Photo: Morning walk
As I walked this path in the early morning haze the words of a song by Eden’s Bridge came to me.
Sun-filled morning,
Endless haze,
Whispers of dew on the ground
Such beauty, golden day
lightens the dark all around…
I fear no evil

Perspective
Photo: The farmhouse
So often we pray, Lord, give us our desires, establish our plans, bless our ministries.
When I saw this lovely farmhouse yesterday and the size of it compared to the back yard God created, it was as if the Lord was saying, “Here’s an idea. How about you pray to be a part of what I am doing? How about you pray that my desires become your desires, that my will be done on earth, that you can bless my ministry by consulting me on my plans?”
“Your project is lovely, but I have bigger plans.”
Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. (Proverbs 19:21)

Down to the River to Pray
Photos: Down by the riverside
I was lost this morning. Somebody chopped down my landmark trees and shipped them off to build a house. I missed my turn and ended up on a very narrow road I haven’t seen before, so I followed a logging truck out, because I figured I’d rather see the back end of one of those things going around a curve than the front end coming at me. All was well though, and I came out of the forest near the river. So I decided to go down to the river to pray.
My soul got happy and I stayed a while.
I was lost. Now I’m found. God is good.

More abundantly
Photos: Yesterday I had time to go out with my camera for a while. The skies were overcast in town, but I saw some interesting light to the west so I pointed myself in that direction. I asked the Lord for a bit of light, both in my life, and on the hills so I might get one good shot. I followed the sun westward and ended up on a logging road that led to St. Marys Lake and the headwaters of the St. Marys River, then circled back by Marysville Falls at twilight. He supplied abundantly more than I asked. Out of this abundance I share with you.
Can you see the house in the above photo? It puts the size of these trees into perspective.
…and many more, which I may post at a later date…
Oh, wait. I have to include this one, just because I don’t think you will see community bulletin boards like this one in Toronto or Pittsburgh or Mumbai:
