Yay!

I have been sucked into blogging world again! :) I was peer pressured into it by my many friends who have one. We'll see how it goes because I've never been good at thoughts and I'm even worse with words. I always feel like I have to write something profound in these to keep people reading. 

Well, it is a GORGEOUS autumn day today. High of 73, bright blue sky, and vibrant, rich colored leaves scattered and dancing on the ground. I love that when October comes, so many trees start changing colors, and then the leaves all blow away, but then so many new colors come with the beginning of November! It's like autumn part two! Quite a few times I've been driving and I'll see a tree that catches my eye, so I'll pull over and take a leaf, smell it, and stick it in my Bible. Fall is SO beautiful when you haven't had it for over 2 years. It's so interesting, fall is when things are dying away, but it looks just the opposite, it looks like it's when things are coming alive! I hope I'm as beautiful as these leaves when I'm dying. :) 

One of my absolute favorite verses is Romans 8:10-11: "But if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you."

Oh man, I love Jesus so much...to give LIFE to our mortal, dead bodies!!! Wow. :)
